| This is a known issue with Electron/Chrome and some hardened kernels. | ||
| If you are interested in details, read [this](https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop/issues/1362#issuecomment-596857282). | ||

Details in #1362 (comment))

Electron is used only for tray (ha, #1153) menu, the GUI for starting/stopping daemon. Actual IPFS node is a golang binary running in separate process.
