Nodejs and chromium both contain the V8 javascript engine (or at least some javascript engine). Add two versions of gjs for people that run gnome and we have 4 javascript engines installed on a single machine.

This means two javascript engines for one browser. I think that dependency on nodejs is unjustified and could be done without.
