Why is webview needed? #1006

Description

@marty60

Today I installed 2.0 alpha 1 because after July's Windows 11 update KB5101650 Windhawk v173 broke. While 2.0 alpha 1 does restore Windhawk I noticed it is requiring webview, which runs under searchhost. This is forcing me to keep the EdgeCore and EdgeWebView folders, which together take up over 1.5gbs while constantly running several webview instances in Task Manager.

What changed in the program that this is now needed? I'm only using 3 tweaks but the total program usage is over 2.5gbs of space including edge components, a junk browser I don't even use. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for the program but it seems a bit bloated considering what it's actually used for.
