Note: The BrowserView API is currently experimental and may change or be removed in future Electron releases.
Process: Main

can be used to embed additional web content into a
BrowserWindow
. It is like a child window, except that it is positioned
relative to its owning window. It is meant to be an alternative to the
webview
tag.
