Electron is like its own possibly out of data copy of chromium packaged with other resources. This means that it shares little with the installed browser and will consume 300MB-1GB of ram itself. I do not suggest a web app is an adequate replacement for a native application but rather that a website may be a superior alternative to electron as it uses fewer resources while providing a similar UI for some applications.
