It's a downgrade from a native app performance-wise, but from a security and privacy standpoint there are only upsides. The web browser is the most sophisticated end-user sandbox on your computer. A highly internet-connected app from a company like Meta, which is notorious for privacy violations, belongs in a sandbox.

So it's Chromium, but not Electron.

I love how services are first becoming app-only, no website and then the apps are replaced again with websites, only that you can't use the normal browser to view them...
