Should one prefer Firefox PWAs (via plugin) and Firefox Web-Apps over Electron apps? (lemm.ee)

Not really that worried but rather curious about your opinions. Use what suits your demands best.

But for starters:

Electron is a framework based on Chromium used to develop desktop apps. Examples of apps that are built on Electron are Discord, Element Desktop, MS Teams, Slack, GitHub Desktop, Atom, VS Code and counting

Woah, thanks so much for that detailed comment. I really learned a lot today (and my day has barely started yet).

I had to write a small shop web app for my programming finals using C# and Razor pages. I then had an internship where my team and I developed a Blazor app using MudBlazor which was a really cool experience. It was back then when I when I really felt how Firefox and Chromium have their little differences since I developed it using Firefox and it was broken on Chromium.

I've since not done much tho because I've focused more on the networking path but that info was really exciting me to try setting that up on my test project just for fun ^-^
