Intro
In just three days, our community made history - this PR became the most upvoted pull request ever in Electron. The response has been incredible, and the Electron team has taken notice.
The PR would enable password managers like 1Password in Horse and all Electron apps. While it won't support every Chrome extension right away, getting password managers working would be a huge win for everyone.
The momentum is building, but we're not quite there yet. Add your support to help get this across the finish line:

The Journey So Far
Initially, we considered maintaining our own custom version of Electron. But thanks to the incredible response from the community, we're closer than ever to having native extension support for all Electron apps.
The PR has caught the attention of reviewers, and while it's not merged yet, the enthusiasm from users like you is making a real difference. Getting password managers working in Horse would be a huge improvement for our users.
Either way, we're excited to see how this unfolds.
