Is the webview2 runtime a redistributable runtime?


Asked by Ford Stout on Dec 15, 2021 FAQ



The WebView2 Runtime is a redistributable runtime and serves as the backing web platform for WebView2 apps. The concept is similar to Visual C++ or the .NET Runtime for C++/.NET apps.
Moreover,
The WebView2 Runtime is a redistributable runtime and serves as the backing web platform for WebView2 apps. Download the runtime from here. Supported platforms are mentioned here. I built a sample WPF application (runs on .NET Framework and not Core) to try WebView2.
Additionally, Build powerful and secure applications by allowing WebView2 controlled access to native capabilities. By default, WebView2 is evergreen and receives automatic updates to stay on the latest and most secure platform. A fixed version variant is available for applications with strict compatibility requirements.
Just so,
On eligible systems, binaries for Microsoft Edge and the Evergreen WebView2 Runtime are hard-linked together when they are on the same version. This linking provides benefits for disk footprint, memory, and performance.
Also,
The source of WebView2 changes to a new URL. The event may result from a navigation action that does not cause a network request such as a fragment navigation. WebView starts loading content for the new page.
