I think you might be confusing an OS web view - which is what Tauri uses - with WebKit, which is the web view on Apple operating systems. It’s the way to get Safari inside your app if you are on an Apple device. On Linux, there is no WebKit, the web view will be your system browser. That might not be very fast.

WebKit definitely compiles for Linux. You can try it in GNOME Web.

Tauri uses WebkitGTK, which has pretty bad performance compared to other browsers on the same hardware.
