Plot twist: Bitwarden on desktop is Chromium browser based.

Still can be used in FF as plugin.

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.

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

Avoid webapps ported to desktop, noted.
