Hmmm, I found running Spotify on macOS makes the battery drain faster as well. If you compare it with iTunes running Apple Music, the difference in battery life is quite huge.
- wlesieutre 10y agoSpotify is built around Chromium Embedded Framework, with IIRC a separate browser instance for each UI frame. Given Chrome's battery and RAM usage, it's not surprising that Spotify performs poorly even compared to iTunes.
- justanton 10y agoWhat was the decision behind this? Why not to develop a native app (swift or objective-c), that would be better optimized and would perform better? Isn't there enough evidence that wrapped web apps like Slack or Atom (and now Spotify) perform worse than the native apps?
