Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Electron comes up
The Browser (with Brendan Eich, Chief Architect of Netscape + Mozilla and CEO of Brave) · Acquired
- ▶ 34:00 Brendan Eich We have a lot of our users of Slack at Brave use the browser to load Slack as a web app instead of loading this bloated electron app that Slack has been slowly maintaining.
- ▶ 1:01:11 Brendan Eich We use the Electron framework when we switched from a private version based on Mozilla's Gecko engine to Chromium Blink, and using Electron was a mistake.
- ▶ 1:02:02 Brendan Eich Until we really did that rebasing on the front end of Chrome, we were paying a growing maintenance cost on all this electron forkage, and our users were suffering because it wasn't fully Chrome.
- ▶ 1:04:22 Brendan Eich And that's when we switched to electron, but that had its own costs.
