The .so is shared. All those uncompressed cat gifs, no.

I'm not familiar with internal browser architecture, but do they make at least a token effort to not render/run attached javascript for elements that are not currently in view?

I haven't measured, but my gut feeling is Electron apps go extremely crappy when you have like 30 memes in a row in a chat channel and make the mistake of switching to it.

Edit: hey, what happens when you open a 500 M log file in vscode?

There is not such thing as ‘attached javascript for elements’.
There should be. So it can be turned off when the element is not visible.
