Like Tauri, this is only lightweight in terms of download size as it doesn't download chrome. The 'bloat' of electron is really at runtime due to loading a full browser engine. Both neutralino and Tauri will use roughly as much ram as an electron app, give or take. You're only saving on download size.

This is false, with every electron app, you're loading ~200MB into RAM to handle the main browser process. With neutralino you're using the system main process, so you're only spawning a new browser thread.

  Yes, but the the new browser thread is about 180MB witch depends on platform, on windows, I think the webview2 is the same as electron.

    Isn’t that because windows webview (with edge now) is chromium?

    In electron, that would be a total of 380MB then, because it's both the main process plus the main view's isolated process.

This is only the case for Tauri on Windows because the native website is just Chromium. On MacOS it’s much leaner. I can’t find the thread where the Tauri devs mentioned a plan to fix this, but iirc they do have one.
