Yes, the thing is, the browser is an extremely expensive abstraction layer. It's like having a car factory where everything is built by general purpose robots - it's very versatile, but obviously if you build an assembly line using dedicated machinery, it's going to run much faster.
- verdverm 9mo agoBut you also have to build your own factory and assembly line, which isn't faster to begin with and takes a lot of effort to get their. Zed still has issues with basics like font rendering and GPU usage from excessive redraws / repaints Meanwhile, chromium works reasonable well on billions of devices of all shapes and kinds
- Etherlord87 9mo agoThis is why Electron is so popular. Building entire factory is very expensive.
