      Electron is a way to package applications built using web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) as desktop or mobile apps. It does this by including the entire Chromium browser (not just the Blink rendering engine as others have suggested, though new versions may have slimmed that down a bit? Idk).

      Between Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, and most other browsers adopting Chrome’s Blink engine, and tons of apps being made on Electron, everything really is Chrome in the future.
