Have you tried the open-source Brave browser?

Its GUI is created with Muon (which is a fork of Electron). The browser doesn't seem very slow, at least to me.
Also, Firefox have used XUL for a long time to create its interface. XUL is not much different from what Electron is: XML-like markup to design your interface and JS to manipulate it.

XUL is not much different from what Electron is: XML-like markup to design your interface and JS to manipulate it. Yes, and XUL is terrible too. Firefox is very resource-intensive and quite slow, and I'm a Firefox user. I wish we could get the values of Firefox with the performance of Chrome...
- johnny22 10y agobut is the poor performance related to XUL? Doubtful.
- cozzyd 10y agoNaming your framework after an unstable particle (with a mass 200 times larger than an electron) seems like a poor choice to me. I would have gone with neutrino-- lighter, equally stable, and can even change flavors!
- jayeshsalvi 10y agoIt's not Electron that has performance issues, but the apps aren't probably coded properly. I've been developing my app using electron for a year now and haven't seen it hog cpu/memory unless it's a bug in my application.
