Firefox/Gecko also just can’t be as relevant as a Chrome/Blink competitor since Gecko doesn’t support embedding on desktop operating systems, which precludes things like Electron-style wrapping and hybrid apps. It’s a fatal flaw that Mozilla doesn’t seem to have any interest in addressing.
- bigyabai 1y agoThere is nothing wrong with using CEF/Electron for some apps and then browser-based Firefox clients for the other ones.
- cosmic_cheese 1y agoBig names like Slack and Spotify can’t choose to use a Gecko-based Electron/CEF alternative though, which limits its potential impact.

- john01dav 1y agoUnlike Gecko, Servo supports embedding as a first class feature. It was designed from the ground up with this in mind.
