You probably missed a part where Chrome, Chromium, and CEF are practically the same thing when it comes to resource consumption. Man, I can't even make Steam consume less than 1 gb ram at any time anymore, even when minimized. CPU consumption, the amount of processes, loading times are also problematic. I wish companies would rely on a labor of programmers, not just web programmers.

I don't think that Steam would consume less resources if it wasn't a web app. Most of the resources usage there comes from crap loads of high quality images. You can't have hundreds of images in a single window without eating loads of RAM.

Bullshit. Steam works well when CEF isn't working right, like no internet connection. Images are still loaded. It's 100% thier storefront.

Eh, after all, they are all chromium under the hood. So I'd expect similar cpu/ram usage from them.
