I now run Slack in Safari on my Macbook Pro.
In Activity Monitor on macOS there is an "Average Energy Impact" metric. I noticed that Slack had a value of 34. The next highest was Chrome at 23, and that's with 200+ tabs open across multiple accounts and windows.
Safari runs with a tab per Slack team, and it's Avg Energy Impact is 1.
- FanaHOVA 9y agoMBP '15, 8GB of RAM: http://imgur.com/a/9GpeY http://imgur.com/a/9GpeY I rarely have more than 10 Chrome tabs open. How many Slack teams do you have open? Do you have the latest client?
- oflannabhra 9y agoI uninstalled the app, so I can't post screenshots anymore. Yes, I had the latest client with 4 teams, I also have a 2015 MBP 15", but with 16GB of RAM
- ProfessorLayton 9y agoI also gave up running the Slack Mac app, and now use it exclusively on a browser/iOS. One issue I haven't figured out in Safari specifically is that it suspends tabs, which is why its so low on energy impact. A few min away from the Slack tab in Safari means that I'll disconnect and appear offline.
- oflannabhra 9y agoI haven't run into that issue. Maybe background notifications prevent the tabs from being suspended?
