> The fan only turns on if I’m doing something intensive like compiling go or scrolling in Slack. That’s intensive. And sad.

  I don't get why people don't just use Slack on Chrome. Everything people rant about when using the Electron-app doesn't happen in Chrome.

    Electron is chromium...

      Electron is built with Chromium. It's usually behind by a few versions (though the team is really focusing now on getting things up to date), and there are differences and additions.

    I run Slack in a Chrome tab but have started experiencing issues where that tab grinds to a halt doing simple Slack things (like switching channels) and the tab eventually crashes.

    I do this (I have it as a pinned tab next to Inbox) and love it. Much more resource efficient, faster to close/open, and easier to have (gasp) a tabbed browsing experience to keep an eye on an important channel.

    If something doesn't work in an up to date Firefox then it just doesn't work. Same if it doesn't work in Edge (or Chrome for that matter.) I refuse to run Chrome when I can avoid it (not even installed on the majority of my machines.) In Firefox (or standalone) Slack eats CPU when someone uses animated emojis in a thread you have open. Maybe it works in Chrome but I guess not and I'm not gonna install Chrome for that or even for testing it. When the standalone app doesn't work properly && the web app doesn't work properly in all major browsers it is broken.

  I LOLed at the shade thrown at Slack. It's funny because it's true.
