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.

- craftyguy 8y agoElectron is chromium...
- alfredxing 8y agoElectron 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.
- oplav 8y agoI 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.
- rattray 8y agoI 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.
- eitland 8y agoIf 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.
