For what it's worth, Mozilla now has GeckoView, which has a stable embedding API. But yeah, it took about 15 too many years to get there...
I thought GeckoView is Android-only? Which means Microsoft couldn't exactly use it for Edge…

I upvoted you (because your suggestion is a good solution) but let’s be real, most people don’t have backups, even developers. In my experience as a developer companies don’t even issue me a USB backup drive to run time machine on my work issued MacBook Pro unless I specifically request it.
Please don't normalize that behavior. Not having regular backups is dumb, like not wearing seatbelts. On a Mac it's so easy -- just plug a drive in once a week or so and Time Machine does its thing. A 1 TB hard drive is cheap, far less than the value of a lost day.
But most people just don’t and a response of “restore from your backup” is unhelpful to them :(
Google will keep locking down Chrome and using corporate talk to hand wave it away, only recourse is to leave. First it’s “sign in” with obtuse ways to turn it off. Then block Adblocking, once again with obtuse ways to disable... the end goal is pretty obvious, get the majority of Chrome users to turn on ads and tie their real names to their Chrome browser. Of course let “power users” (who’ll turn that crap off anywa…
The day the Web sold its soul. Such a disappointment when TBL came out in support of that. People who knew better tried to warn us, but they all got shouted down and told there "was no other choice" b/c content creators were going to try an lock down with extensions and it would somehow be worse.

« To those who say just fork Chrome adfm had a good article explaining why that doesn’t work: [Chromium, Widevine...] » To my knowledge Widevine DRM works with Chromium. You can watch DRM'd videos: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/how-to-install-widevine-on-chrom...
I remember of projects that failed because Widevine explicitly didn't work in their Chromium. I assume that Widevine builds nicely but requires a Google-issued key to work.

TBL? Can you extrapolate? I google it and its "The Basketball League". I just think your comment had the opportunity to continue to educate me on something I have never heard of or about and to throw in an acronym without having used the the 3 words before is confusing.

I don't think it would be hard to make an Electron Netflix app if one doesn't already exist.
Then you're just using Chrome... Isn't Electron basically just a Chrome tab as an app (to over simplify it? I presume it would afford Google the same level of tracking that Chrome does.
Not sure about in-browser IP tracking, though...
