Is there a list of WebView2 users? Perhaps an "Awesome Edge WebView2" list or a showcase?

Awesome Tauri
Awesome Electron or Electron Apps
Awesome Neutralino
Awesome Wails
Awesome WinUI
React Native showcase
React Native Windows/macOS/Linux showcase
Flutter showcase, Flutter Awesome, Awesome Flutter
the list goes on....

and a random question... why didn't you guys update UWP and win32 WebViews to use Edge? They're stuck using EdgeHTML/Spartan and Internet Explorer/Trident...

Hello Poopooracoocoo,

We are currently in the process of integrating WebView2 for UWP platforms. As we discover the work items, we will have a better timeline to share regarding it's availability and transition.

Hey folks - we don't currently have any plans to change existing controls (WebView(1)/WebBrowser/WebOC, etc) to use WebView2 or Edge/V8 at this time. This would create a huge app compatibility problem. WebView2 is quite different from those other controls, and so our policy is to have apps choose to switch or adopt WebView2. For newer UI frameworks, like WinUI 3, WebView2 is the default web control.

I think having a list of showcase apps could be a neat idea! I've added this to our backlog :) Thanks!

Edge WebView2 is not awesome at all, it is quite painful to port WebBrowser to WebView2 on WinForms. Love WebBrowser for its simplicity & consistency.
