Interesting that they chose Electron. Cross platform is certainly enticing, but at this point I'd say that browsers are relatively heavyweight pieces of software that require careful optimisation to do well, even assuming you outsource the engine.
> With that in mind, be aware that displaying arbitrary content from untrusted sources poses a severe security risk that Electron is not intended to handle.

I feel like they should’ve used Chromium.
A very minimal Rust-only browser with security and privacy in mind at every single step is completely missing from browsers today. Things like waterfox et al are enormous projects that take far too long for one person to audit the entire code base to ensure correctness. Something like the 'wireguard of browsers' in this regard is needed (single repo that one person can read over in a day and can be built with a single cargo build command). Even servo unfortunately falls just barely shy of this goal, but one can dream.
It's a shame because I really liked the flexibility (I was a big fan of Opera back in the day), but since new tab is something I do thousands of times per day, that small lag was enough to make it a non-starter.
