You're right. It's a relatively small, but persistent concern people have emailed me about. After a while, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I know this because I'm temporarily using a Chrome-based WebBrowser component for called EO.WebBrowser (for edge-case reasons). I'm working on going back to the native WebBrowser control after getting about a few emails a month of emails asking about RAM usage.

It also shows up in the uninstall comments. Quote from a real comment: "The app works, but it uses a lot of RAM."

Slack and Discord are used for work, which might make users think of it a necessary evil. Paying for software yourself that you don't absolutely need and having it use lots of your RAM is a different story.
