there's a lot of difference, please just look it up in any AI. Essentially, you do not ship a browser in Tauri.

> Essentially. you do not ship a browser in Tauri.

I mean, essentially you are? It just so happens that this web browser that your application very much runs on top of may link (to a more or less large extent) with the host OS "WebView"/built-in browser (assuming there's one to begin with). My point still stands: if you are lucky, you may save some on the binary size download, once, but the run time is a web app with all the quirks and inefficiencies of the web as a platform.

You run on a browser, but that's very different from shipping a browser.

And you save more than merely the download size: there's the equivalent disk size savings but also not having to load n browser engines into RAM at the same time.

There's definitely stuff I don't like about Tauri — the way the UI is quite so separate from the native logic, for example — but there are still definite advantages over Electron.
