Frequently asked questions

Comparison & Alternatives

Why should we choose MōBrowser over Electron or Tauri?

MōBrowser is designed for teams building commercial desktop applications, where reliability, security, and support matter.

With Electron or Tauri, your team is responsible for:

  • resolving framework-level issues;
  • relying on community support;

MōBrowser provides:

  • faster and more predictable updates;
  • technical support with SLAs;
  • private communication channels;
  • timely security updates.

If you’re shipping a product where downtime and risk have real cost, MōBrowser offers a more controlled and reliable foundation.

What problems does MōBrowser solve that open-source frameworks don’t?

MōBrowser focuses on the challenges that appear in production:

  • Security maintenance → managed Chromium updates and faster vulnerability fixes;
  • Operational risk → SLA-backed support instead of relying on community responses;
  • Intellectual property protection → stronger safeguards for distributed applications;
  • Maintenance overhead → less time spent on framework-level issues.

Instead of investing engineering effort into maintaining your stack, your team can focus on building product features.

Can we migrate an existing Electron app to MōBrowser?

Yes, in most cases. But it’s not a drop-in replacement.

  • Frontend code (React, Vue, etc.) is typically reusable;
  • Backend logic and IPC will need adaptation to MōBrowser’s architecture;
  • Node.js native modules you use in Electron will work in MōBrowser.

For mature Electron apps, migration is a strategic decision. Teams usually consider it when they want:

  • stronger security and intellectual property protection;
  • more predictable updates;
  • reduced long-term maintenance effort.

What frontend frameworks are supported?

MōBrowser works with any modern web frontend framework, including React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte.

Since MōBrowser is based on Chromium, it supports all the features and Web APIs that Google Chrome supports.

You’re not locked into a specific stack. You can use the tools your team already knows.

Can I integrate native code (C++/Rust)?

Yes. MōBrowser allows integration with native C++/Rust modules when you need:

  • high-performance components;
  • access to OS-level APIs;
  • integration with existing native libraries.

Pricing & Licensing

What is the difference between non-commercial and commercial use?

Non-commercial use applies to projects that are not used for business purposes, such as:

  • personal or hobby projects;
  • educational use;
  • open-source projects;
  • internal prototypes or experiments with no business value.

Commercial use applies when MōBrowser is used in any context that is part of a business activity or provides economic benefit.

This includes:

  • software that is sold, licensed, or distributed to customers;
  • internal tools used by employees as part of their job;
  • applications developed for clients or as part of paid services;
  • any use within a company or organization that contributes to its operations.

In short, if MōBrowser is used in a business context or as part of revenue-generating or operational activity, a commercial license is required.

If you’re unsure, it’s safest to assume your use is commercial or contact us for clarification.

Do we need a commercial license per developer, per app, or per company?

The license is issued to your organization, and the final pricing is determined by different factors such as:

  • number of applications or projects;
  • number of people interacting with support;
  • custom support requirements and legal terms.

This approach gives you flexibility to use MōBrowser across your team and products, while ensuring the license reflects your actual usage and support needs.

For exact terms and pricing, contact Sales. They’ll help define a model that fits your organization.

What does the commercial license include (support, SLAs, hotfixes)?

The license includes everything needed for production use:

  • access to MōBrowser and all updates;
  • security patches and bug fixes;
  • enterprise support with defined SLAs;
  • assistance from engineers when issues arise.

The goal is simple: your team should never be blocked by the framework.

What happens if we stop paying? Will our app continue to work?

All the apps you have developed with MōBrowser will continue to work.

How does MōBrowser reduce total cost of ownership (TCO)?

MōBrowser reduces the hidden costs of maintaining a desktop stack:

  • less time spent on Chromium updates and security issues;
  • fewer production incidents caused by framework-level bugs;
  • faster resolution when problems occur;
  • reduced need for specialized in-house expertise.

Instead of maintaining infrastructure, your team can focus on delivering product value.

Support & SLA

What does “enterprise support” actually include?

Enterprise support means you’re covered when it matters most.

  • help with real production issues;
  • guidance on architecture and best practices;
  • assistance during critical incidents;
  • ongoing access to product expertise.

Your team isn’t left figuring out platform problems on its own.

Who provides support?

You work directly with engineers who know MōBrowser.

  • no generic first-line support;
  • no long escalation chains;
  • faster, more precise answers.

When something breaks, you’re talking to people who can actually fix it.

What are guaranteed response times?

  • We respond within 4 business hours.
  • Business hours are Monday—Friday, 11:00 AM—7:00 PM (your time).
  • Communication channels are email, chat, video calls, and screen sharing.

Can we request features or custom fixes?

Yes. You can request features, suggest improvements, and discuss custom solutions with our engineers.

Do you offer onboarding or consulting?

Yes. We can help with setup and architecture, provide guidance on best practices, and support for complex use cases.

This helps your team get productive faster and avoid costly mistakes.

Security & Compliance

How does MōBrowser protect our source code and intellectual property?

MōBrowser is designed to make reverse engineering significantly harder than standard packaging approaches.

This is especially important for:

  • commercial desktop applications;
  • proprietary business logic;
  • licensed software distributed to customers.

While no client-side solution is fully unbreakable, MōBrowser helps reduce the risk of intellectual property leakage and protect your revenue.

How often is Chromium updated?

MōBrowser tracks Chromium closely and delivers regular updates aligned with Chromium releases.

This ensures your application stays:

  • up to date with modern web standards;
  • compatible with evolving web APIs;
  • aligned with the Chromium ecosystem.

How quickly are security vulnerabilities patched?

Critical vulnerabilities are prioritized and addressed as quickly as possible.

You benefit from:

  • reduced exposure window;
  • faster access to fixes;
  • less pressure on your team to react immediately.

This is especially important for teams operating in security-sensitive environments.

What happens if a critical bug is found in production?

You’re not on your own.

  • issues can be escalated through support;
  • critical problems are prioritized;
  • fixes are delivered as quickly as possible.

This reduces downtime and helps your team respond to incidents with confidence.

Does MōBrowser help with compliance (e.g., CRA, enterprise security)?

Yes. MōBrowser supports compliance efforts by providing:

  • timely security updates;
  • a controlled and maintained platform;
  • enterprise support with defined response processes.

While compliance depends on your full application and processes, MōBrowser helps you meet security and reliability requirements more easily.
