javascript - Is it possible to build a standalone HTML5 App *without* bundling a browser? -

solutions such electron require bundling entire browser resulting .app build, causes have several gigabytes single hello world app. users have chrome installed on computers, though. possible create standalone .app application uses existing browser open itself, hiding frames / url bar of browser, , has access system resources (fs, child processes, etc.)?

edit: i'm thinking on lines of "bundle node.js + html .app opens existing browser (pointing html) without url bar". node.js can access filesystem , communicate app via http, ws, etc. real problem here opening chrome without url bar, guess.

i saw nodekit attempt use javascript engine available on each platform.

so example on mac it'll use wkwebview , on windows 10 it'll run on javascript universal apps platform.

for though, having test on electron makes developing apps simpler , can have functional app in installer under 40mb.
