Also, if Electron apps are just a packaged up webpage, could they even do things like run shell scripts locally? I'm also wanting to allow the user to browse for a file and have the full path intact instead of just the name of the file a browser would return.
Not only that, but they have pervasive cross-site scripting vulnerabilities that are now exposing the user to remote code execution!
Also, they tend to have out of date dependencies, and are vulnerable to traditional code execution exploits that were fixed in upstream chrome long prior.
