It’s just a major coincidence that whitelist is the opposite of being placed on a deny list

I run a PiHole and a Tailscale exit node on my Unifi routers (previous generation). The Tailscale exit node lets me do both site-to-site VPNs and site-specific egress. The one thing keeping me from site network nirvana is that I haven't quite figured out how to set up a wifi network on the Ubiquiti device that routes all traffic through a given other exit node, however. Someday!
Does setting the gateway address on the wifi network to be your tailscale exit node ip work?

You could use a webview shared at the system level, so you don't have in memory 4 different browser engines.
Browsers themselves don’t do this for security snd sandboxing reasons. Each tab is another instance.

I used to use them. Then I was burned by some Very Opinionated managers and coworkers who didn't like seeing new things. It wasn't a hill I was willing to die on; there's more important things to argue about in C++.
Development is a massive cargo cult

Either way, it's definitely not the cost difference between on-premise and cloud. Cloud providers are not charities, and their buildings and staff are not cheaper than yours.
