About the only upside to this that I can think of is that maybe, just maybe, programmers will start being more frugal with their memory usage. Everything else just sucks.

Of course a chat program needs a 4GB electron app. That’s the bare minimum to match 1990s ICQ.

There are plenty of IRC clients that don’t use electron.

I think it was a comment on the use case for an app not really changing but the resources to run it bloating significantly… E.g. software running on a computer with MB of ram then and now the app alone requiring GB.

It’s a fork of chromium, which has it.

AFAIK Firefox also has one.
