NolanThe year is 2023. Every program on your computer is now an Electron app, running vulnerable out-of-date versions of Chromium and consuming 500MB of memory each
AirDur.eu 🔥@nolan then... what can we do ?
@AirDur Build for the web instead: https://whatwebcando.today/ 😉
@nolan Firefox tooks a lot of RAM too. And for what I want to do, a lot of feature isn't available yet.
But I need to end my school before. I hope browsers will improve. :)
@AirDur At the very least browsers are getting really good at throttling background tabs (https://github.com/WICG/interventions/issues/34) and about not spinning up a ton of resources for every single website. But yeah a lot of webapps are not super heavily optimized (I've been looking at improving the Mastodon codebase for instance; it's not bad but could use some improvements: https://gist.github.com/nolanlawson/d8541c6e818c8eb6e440d6a25c02987e)
