I think people are underestimating how bad webapps are. I do... a lot of computing and by far the most CPU intensive applications on my computer are webviews. Either Gmail in chrome or slack. I'm actually going to be upgrading my laptop soon because slack+3 organizations crushes my laptop.

Do you think browser vendors have been pushing JIT research forward, investing in webasm, and building things like servo because websites are so fast and light on CPU?
