This repo is forked from electron-browser-shell and modified for RabbyHub. We would also contribute the modifications back to the original repo, but for usage in RabbyHub as early as possible, we publish the pre-built result under npm scope @rabby-wallet.
Originally, electron-browser-shell is under GPL v3 license, we keep it and publish this repository, see more details in License.
electron-browser-shell is a minimal, tabbed web browser with support for Chrome extensions—built on Electron. We don't rewrite code in shell nor republish it on our scope, just add some APIs in to electron-chrome-extensions and use it in rabby.
