While it was thinkable all the time, it renders me speechless, that finally somebody has put that stack under a terminal. The next big thing will be electron-based smooth-scroll, mouse-animation and finally: a 70mb beep.
I'm speechless. It's monday today and the day just begins. I hope for better news along the way ...
Actually it makes a lot of sense. For an electron based browser the vast bulk of it is in the HTML/CSS/JS engine just like normal, but instead of doing the higher level code and UI chrome in C++, you just use the same language and facilities which the engine itself already provides.
Brave is actually really good from my perspective. I use it as my main mobile browser. They're looking to add support for the p2p `dat://` protocol this year as well!
I also don't get it. Why would I want a full web browser to power my terminal? Just because we can, doesn't mean that we should...
You wouldn't. It's pretty much purely a convenience for the author of the software.
