Description
According to Electron documentation, the use of <webview> elements to render embedded content is based on volatile Chromium features and is therefore discouraged.
We should investigate migrating our existing infrastructure to one that uses WebContentsView. Such a transition will come with several benefits:
- The primary window renderer process will no longer need to mediate communications between webviews and the host. This will simplify and speed up provider function calls.
- Most UI-related code, such as window management and renderer-based providers, can be moved to the main process.
