gussic oh yeah, I was going to address that, thank you for the reminder. I am not sure if the post belongs in this thread because there is no Electron in the browser extension. Some of the increase in the memory usage is related to the fact that the extension is now standalone and does not require the app to function. There are certainly some pros and cons to that. At the same time, the memory usage seems too large for me and I asked the browser extension team to dig into it.

roustem yes I get its probably not strictly on topic for this thread - but it was replying to your post about how embarrassed you were that 1P7 used so much memory. The new 1P8 + the required browser extensions use significantly more memory than 1P7. Happy to be split off into a seperate thread, but can I ask for a genuine/honest answer - why did you proceed with a standalone extension at the expense of a dependent one, if the memory sacrifices are so large? Surely a >10x increase in memory usage is not satisfactory in anyone's book?

gussic We had two different extensions for a long time now. One of them was getting all the love and attention and another one was stagnating. I agree that it would be nice to improve memory usage and we are looking into that. At same time, on the grand scheme of things it is not as outrageous as you might think. A single YouTube page open in Safari uses more memory:

roustem the difference is YouTube videos don't stay open all day, an extension is always running (as long as the browser is) - why can't we go back to the old system, two extensions to suit both use cases? If that means you have to hire more developers then why is that such an issue? It works for your users much better, and shouldn't that be the primary goal?
