Electron IS a browser. It's a Chromium browser to be exact with all the Chromium UI elements except the very bare minimum removed.

So the only difference that remains is running a website in a tab or in a fancy window.

I know that Electron is a browser. But the issue is that it's a different browser, and AFAIK Electron applications don't share libraries etc. like Chrome/Firefox tabs would, which makes Electron apps even more inefficient than web apps.
