Not quite. instead of a bundled pinned version of electron, it is an arbitrary version of edge's WebKit fork shared across all programs using it. That means you don't need to keep multiple copies of the webkit libraries loaded into memory.

That's not to say that building things on web technology is an efficient use of resources. Even if multiple programs are sharing the webview2 library, they're still dealing with the fundamental performance and memory problems caused by building an app in JavaScript.

As for why teams is so memory hungry? I would blame Teams.

Discord manages to make a half decent, highly responsive webview app, and that's with the overhead of having its own separate instance of electron.

EDIT: the original poster was also talking about application binary size, not runtime memory consumption. Application binary size should actually be significantly helped by linking webview to instead of bundling electron.

See: Webview2

Unfortunately, it is extremely painful to work withπŸ˜” Enjoy rolling your own script versioning and update systems instead of using squirrel et al

Edit: I think Tauri works by targeting this and webkitgtk via their wrapper library, unfortunately I can't get my coworkers to write rust

Bad news, there's precedent for making boycotts illegal, though that's based on a deliberate misreading of hate speech laws

I'm holding out some hope, since twitch is live but YouTube is pre-buffered, but they could still block loading past the ad on a timer or a key computed from hashing the decoded frames of the ad, idk

Not to sell out my community but I know quite a few people whose condom use went down after they got on PrEP

It is, and it's on by default. At least, it was for me.

Reddit's app adds the watermark when you save on mobile, it's not a screenshot of the app.

Most garage doors I've encountered use rolling codes so you can't even do that safely 😭
