Comment on A fresh install of Signal takes up 410MB, blowing both Firefox and Chromium out of the water
rdri@lemmy.world 6 months agoBecause optimized software is better for industry, people, and environment. Also seeing that some menu or window is not an html page but a native element makes my headache go away because I value my CPU cycles (seeing a cursor doesn’t lag when some complex page is displayed should not be considered a weird fetish) and like it when things don’t do stupid unnecessary stuff both visually and under the hood.
And it could be even less than that depending on specifics.
