   Thanks for your reply, but that's what we're already doing, and it does not work as remote used to work. Almost every property is missing. Where's alwaysOnTop? Where's everything else besides these five properties?

   • devToolsWebContents
   • name
   • setBounds
   • _events
   • _eventsCount

   remote works via custom getters and setters. The contextBridge API that is exposed to users does not support getters and setters.

   Very appreciative for the reply @MarshallOfSound. Bummer to not have access to all the old features of remote for debugging though; it made life so much easier when debugging certain issues.

   I can't test this currently, but I don't suppose that we could transmit the entire BrowserWindow across contextBridge either, right?
