Re: [Chromium-dev] Render to App Window... On Windows?

You're right - that is an advantage of the render-to-app-window feature.

I think in general, if my changes get back into the tree, we'd just have to
make sure users understand the tradeoffs between one way and the other.

Probably the #1 use for Chromium right now... right?

Anyway, thanks for your input!

What would be a good name for an ENV variable to toggle "my" new feature.
