+### [Blazor Hybrid](#tab/blazor-hybrid)
+
+In an ASP.NET Core Blazor Hybrid app, [Razor components](/aspnet/core/blazor/components/) run natively on the desktop or mobile device. Components render to a custom embedded Web View control through a local interop channel. The components don't run in the browser, and WebAssembly isn't used. Components have full access to the native capabilities of the device through the .NET platform. All component styles rendered in a Web View are platform dependent. If you're planning to deploy across multiple platforms, you may have to account for rendering differences across the platforms using custom stylesheets.

+Blazor Hybrid apps can be built using .NET MAUI, WPF, or Windows Forms. Visual Studio provides a template for creating a Blazor Hybrid app using .NET MAUI. You can also create a Blazor Hybrid app using WPF or Windows Forms by adding a BlazorWebView control to your existing WPF or Windows Forms app. See the links below for more information.

+Blazor Hybrid is a great choice if:
+
+- Your team is already familiar with ASP.NET Core, Razor components, and CSS.
+- You want to use C# and/or Razor components for building cross-platform apps.
+- You want to share as much .NET code (and Razor components) as possible across applications.
+- You want to ship your application beyond Windows to other desktop and mobile targets with native platform experiences.
+- You have existing .NET MAUI, WPF, or Windows Forms apps and want to add Blazor components to them.

 ### [Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)](#tab/pwa)
 
 [Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)](/microsoft-edge/progressive-web-apps-chromium/) provide access to open web technologies to provide cross-platform interoperability. PWAs provide your users with an app-like experience that's customized for their devices. PWAs are websites that are [progressively enhanced](https://alistapart.com/article/understandingprogressiveenhancement) to function like installed, native apps on supporting platforms (including Windows), while functioning like regular websites on other browsers.
