Which Chromium-based runtime is best for Windows 11?
Many Windows 11 apps run on Chromium-based versions, such as WebView2, CEF, browsers, game launchers, Discord and Spotify. Which one do you think is the best?

If your app is mostly a wrapper for a web app and you want it to feel like a native part of Windows 11, WebView2 is the ideal choice. It's already built into the OS, resulting in a tiny app size and fast startup times. However, be aware that this path has trade-offs; for example, apps like WhatsApp have faced criticism for higher memory usage and less reliable notifications after switching to WebView2.。
