Prototype: Electron / Chromium

Research: Electron

Previous efforts have been made to create an Electron based browser. Several parts of Electron are attractive for building a new browser: quick iteration cycle in UI because all UI is based on web technologies. We wanted to know why Electron browsers failed and why surviving browsers like Brave moved away from Electron.

Research: Chromium

Chromium is the largest open source browser project that not only includes an open source rendering engine (Blink) but also the UI portions of the browser (Chromium). We wanted to understand this project better and the success of other projects that have forked Chromium like Brave.
