Worse. Steam is basically built on top of CEF, which is not much better than Electron.

It’s amazing how deep Chromium (and web tech in general) got into everything. Microsoft - which I regarded for how light and well optimized Windows 8.1 was - went from using Chromium for Edge to using it basically everywhere. Latest observation is how you open Copilot app, chat a little and see how it eats 4 GB of RAM and lags like hell, on a higher end business laptop.

I don’t think I’m alone in saying “light” and “well-optimized” are not words that fit the Windows 8.1 experience.

Mediocre in almost all aspects is the best descriptor for 8.1 and honestly that’s pretty generous given how bad 8.0 was

  It was basically a faster 7 (also less hungry). Universally hated Metro stuff can be get rid of easily. Plus it had better forward compatibility - I could run some apps that said to require windows 10 which I knew didn’t work on 7.
