It does with the browser version. Is there any reason to use the non browser version? 1 less v8 instance running

    Tabs are sharing the code though, because it comes from the same binary. Every electron app instead has its V8 and Blink in a separate binary that has to be loaded into its own RAM.

      I suggest you open your systems version of task manager. All those chrome processes are loaded in their own ram.

        That’s just sandboxing. They still share a significant amount of resources.

        Sharing of read-only pages from the executable is done at the kernel (page cache) level. I agree that for example JIT compiled code is not shared.

  It's weird that it doesn't work since it uses webrtc for huddles. That's precisely what I had to enable in the browser to get various screen sharing websites to work. Btw, this isn't for slack but teams: I use the website because their Linux app blows, but I actually use a totally different browser (chromium) to my main browser (firefox) intentionally. Occasionally when teams takes 100% cpu and memory for no reason, I can 'pkill chromium' without nuking firefox. So the "one less engine" argument wouldn't convince me.
