Description

According to Electron API docs BrowserView was deprecated in version 29 in favour of WebContentsView.

BrowserView: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/browser-view WebContentsView: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/web-contents-view

It is worth looking at this to make sure that API is still relevant and working and add a new one as well.
