I tried doing the same thing using Electron. CPU usage isn't ideal, context menus wouldn't work, keyboard focus was an issue. Eventually I dropped it and have been using MacPin[1] for a while. There is also WebShell[2]

I believe this uses Electron under the hood.
It does, therefore:

- CPU usage is much higher than something using WKWebView

- OS Back/Forward shortcuts don't work

- No context menus

- CMD+Click opens in your regular browser

Which makes it a no-go for me, but YMMV.
