    Chrome extension support for Electron-based web browsers: https://github.com/samuelmaddock/electron-browser-shell

    Despite a fair amount of folks disliking Electron for replacing traditional desktop apps, I find it's a great fit for building unique web browsers.

    I believe there's a lot of opportunity for making interesting web browsers, but building and maintaining them by forking something like Chromium or Firefox is a ton of work.

    With Electron, it's possible to create something interesting with a team of one.
