How ext differs from a browser? Browsers already run js. I assume there is something to gain.

We offer some additional modules (https://docs.ext.store/) that allow you to leverage desktop features (like customizing the window design, etc.), that aren't currently available in browsers.
so it's like capcitor.js/cordova but for desktop. Still fail to see the advantage over Electron, NWJS or tauri.

not sure either, but presumably the intention is to alleviate the platform specific build processes, apis and modules for developers so that they are "unified" under this framework.
