It is not possible to connect to MongoDB directly from a browser. It is only possible using NodeJS features. This is why an electron app is handy. However, it would be possible to create a browser version with online login. Here is the list of cons / pros.
Pros:
no need to download and install the app
always using the latest version
available everywhere
no Operating System related issues - it's unified
Cons:
security: all data flow through Mingo's servers, which imposes a security question. This can be solved by end-to-end encryption
performance: it is almost impossible to estimate the load it would take on our servers
