Is that really improvement if you need to run a browser to run the app? I guess most of us have the browser open all the time anyway, so adding an Electron app is just one more thing, but I know that Chrome on my machine soaks up a lot more than 130MB ...

I've got a lot of tabs open right now and I'm not sure how to read the memory usage in Chrome's task manager, but Chrome appears to claim to be using about 450MB just for the browser, plus some additional amount for each tab I have open.



How often do you even close the browser?
