So I need to have some sort of WebView library pre-installed? What WebView would that be on, e.g., Linux? And is it possible to include it in the build to create a standalone binary? If so, how much would that make the binary size go up?

In my experience, relying on a system-wide WebView is a recipe for desaster.

For most platforms relying on the browser’s webview is fine since most platforms ship with a browser! But you can always specify WebKitGTK as a dependency which I think is a one time 2GB cost.
