Mozilla seems to be asleep at the wheel, when it once drove online activity and communications. We have some suggestions where it could go.

    I don’t see the point, especially when there’s Tauri, which is a slim wrapper around whatever the default web view is on the target platform. That’s about as slim as you can get.

    Mozilla making it would merely be a Firefox-based Electron competitor, which would probably end up being similar in terms of size. I think that should happen, but the goal shouldn’t be to make apps slimmer, but to make a real Electron competitor (i.e. something that packages the browser with the executable).

      I’ve never heard of Tauri before. It’s almost exactly what I would hope for from mozilla, and perfect for some of the apps I want to make. Ty!

        You’re welcome! I’m actually in the process of pitching it to my company to replace our Electron app, which has caused a bunch of problems for us.
