    I can’t understand how people can continue relying on chrome and derivatives like electron, CEF etc. and not see it as a problem.

      It’s easy to understand when you think most comments are similar to yours and don’t provide any insight as to why this might be a problem.

      Maybe you could update your post and share your knowledge and experience with others, so that there are less people in the world who don’t see the problem.

        When trying to render a relatively simple page consisting few thousands of text lines in a table, any current browser will cause mouse cursor to lag for some time, then you’ll discover it consumes at least 2 GB ~ 4 GB of RAM. YouTube lags like I have 2 cores instead of 16. Any electron app is either clunky or too clunky, also either hungry or too hungry.

        I’m sorry but I don’t have time to look up other cases.

          Any intuition on why we’d expect opening the same page on a newly implemented browser engine that implements all equivalent standards and functions will consume less resources?
