Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components

I guess the prices give us a new kind of issue ticket template; “new RAM is to expensive for me, please consider optimizing”

Electron should be a system dependency entirely so that every single app doesn’t have to be individually updated whenever there’s a chromium CVE which seems to be weekly.

  We kinda have that already
  
  Some frameworks/standard libs do support that, making use of OS webrendering capabilities.
  
  For example MAUI WebView
  
  WebView uses different browser engines on each platform to render web content:
  
  Windows: Uses WebView2, which is based on the Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browser engine. This provides modern web standards support and consistent behavior with the Edge browser.
  
  Android: Uses android.webkit.WebView, which is based on the Chromium browser engine. The specific version depends on the Android WebView system component installed on the device.
  
  iOS and Mac Catalyst: Uses WKWebView, which is based on the Safari WebKit browser engine. This is the same engine used by the Safari browser on iOS and macOS.
