I dunno it feels entirely fair since isn’t one of the benefits of Tauri the fact that it uses your system’s existing WebKit instead of bundling a full chromium?

That makes them also use less memory etc.

Right that's the tradeoff. If you need exactly the same environment on multiple platforms and you're willing to pay a high price in memory and disk space then use Electron.

On the other hand, if you can work around browser incompatibilities then Tauri will give you a much less wasteful app.

Choose the right tool for your use case.
