Plus every bugfix that eventually gets discovered now requires an update to be shipped to end users.

Atleast with websites, devs can ship a fix on the server immediately.

So the impact of different browsers behaving differently is much greater when distributing binaries with Neutralinojs. Having a bundled browser (eg Electron) atleast mitigates this vector for bugs
