1Password used to ship native (aka "Mac-assed") apps. They (relatively, in the software's history) recently switched to Electron instead of continuing native app development.

So again, how does an Electron bug become 1Password's fault?

It's cross-platform and integrates with browsers so it makes sense they would want to use a cross-platform JavaScript solution as much as possible. Not just to make their developers more efficient, but to reduce the surface area for bugs and vulnerabilities.

1Password used to be an excellent native app. It's not surprising that many users (myself included) resent the enshittification.

I've used it for years and am only finding out today that it's Electron. And I couldn't care less.

99.9% of my usage is within the browser plugin anyways. And whenever I have to edit an entry, it works fine.
