Oh no! It looks like an electron app.
Can anyone confirm whether or not it's built on Electron?
The closest I can find is from Feb 2023, saying that at that time it would not be Electron:
So possibly Electron-like but based on Firefox rather than Chromium?
From what I've read, it is not, but it basically contains Firefox to do the rendering.
It's based on the "Mozilla application framework" [0]
