Plot twist: Bitwarden on desktop is Chromium browser based.

Still can be used in FF as plugin.

Pretty much every web-app wrapped into a desktop environment uses Electron, which is based in Chromium.

Avoid webapps ported to desktop, noted.

Unless you can run them over Firefox, using this for example

Good to know! I’ve never installed bitwarden desktop and always used the Firefox extension. I just recently found out that Bitwarden has a desktop app. I was thinking of trying it out, until I read your comment. I think I’ll just stick with the extension. Thank you for your TED talk.

There’s nothing special about it. It’s just the extension in a larger format. I’ve tried to use it a few times, but there’s no gain over the extension. And, typically the extension is better because I already have my browser open, so I don’t need to open a new app.
