It doesn’t have to be Chromium. It just needs to be a browser that can be linked and launched as an app.

It’s called a “web view” and it already exists in all of the platforms.

WebView is Chromium on Windows now. The holdout is Apple. They are not known to capitulate to industry trends. Maybe this will be the first one they are forced into by popular demand.

Good thing the web is still based on open standards instead of an (advertising) industry trend. We need more viable browser engines, not less.
