Wouldn't regular Chrome have the same issue? Each tab is a full instance... your argument is against Chrome and web apps, not Electron.

- rodorgas 9y agoChrome splits itself in various processes and usually each tab has a process. But each process is not a full Chrome instance. There's a huge difference.
- pavlov 9y agoNo, it's different. Each Chrome tab is a process, but they share the same dynamic libraries in memory. Each Electron app is both a process and a separate copy of the dynamic libraries. If you run half a dozen Electron apps, those redundant libraries will be taking up roughly a gigabyte already.
