I recently did this using Electron's BrowserView. I had to step away from using electron because I encountered segfaults like `Received signal 11 SEGV_MAPERR 000000000060` just on visiting cnn.com and clicking one of their nav links (without much going on otherwise, which I found kinda crazy). Electron also only recently added support for PDFs, and it's still a little buggy. I was able to get around most of these with pdf.js. I ended up using a combination of chrome extension for injecting stuff into webpage + rpc to a local node.js server running inside an electron app (for convenience). I only made this for personal use, so I'm ok with <arbitrary_caveat>s. |

Yeah, web browsers have so much compatibility code this does not surprise me...
