Explain why you say this. What if chrome is not installed?

  Slack? It's supposed to be Chromium but still..

    I was think the guy was making an Electron joke, but yeah, Electron is Chromium-based, and if each Electron app was packing it's own ESET antimalware engine, you'd see some serious upset going around.

    why mention slack? didn't see anything in either the article or the comment about slack. Article says this is specific to chrome windows. Google does way too much tracking as it is, but this is about a supposed AV scan not link tracking, so I'd like to understand the comment.

      Slack's desktop apps use Electron (the GitHub Desktop and Discord apps do as well, for further examples), which is built on Chromium.
