      Electron is not just a browser. It’s more like a native app framework that just happens to use HTML and CSS to render UIs. You can do anything the OS lets you do, not just what a browser environment would let you do.

        Electron is an unholy fusion of Chromium and Node.JS. Nothing more, nothing less. It doesn’t ‘just happen’ to use HTML and CSS. It’s literally just a browser with most of the default browser UI being hidden. Something like React Native would better fit your definition.
