https://wails.io/docs/guides/windows/

column "Engine" in this repo says it uses webkit only.

Elanis commented 11 months ago

I don't know a lot about wails myself, so I don't really know how it works under the hood. It's weird because here: https://wails.io/docs/howdoesitwork they only talk about webkit ... And in the introduction, they indeed talk about Webview2: https://wails.io/docs/introduction/

Also, on Linux, they talk about webkitgtk: https://wails.io/docs/guides/linux

So they probably are using Webview2 and webkitgtk like Tauri ? What do you think ?

Wails uses WebKit2gtk on Linux, Webview2 on Windows and WkWebview on Mac.

Thanks for pointing out that the docs should be more explicit around this 🙏
