Have isolated web apps/web bundle gained any traction over the past few years? I just realized that this thing existed and there were some discussions around it -- I almost completely forgot this.

I did a search, and most stuff come from a few years ago.

It makes much more sense to bundle a binary + web extension (w/ native messaging) to handle bridging the browser isolation in a sensible manner.

It's a minimal amount of extra work and would mean you cross browser isolation in a very controlled manner.

It is used by chromeOS
You means apps written by Google as "native apps"?

Any use cases outside that?

If not, it is probably fair to say nobody uses this.

A PWA is a IWA so lots of people are using it besides Google
