I don't get why people don't just use Slack on Chrome. Everything people rant about when using the Electron-app doesn't happen in Chrome.
Same if it doesn't work in Edge (or Chrome for that matter.)
I refuse to run Chrome when I can avoid it (not even installed on the majority of my machines.)
In Firefox (or standalone) Slack eats CPU when someone uses animated emojis in a thread you have open.
Maybe it works in Chrome but I guess not and I'm not gonna install Chrome for that or even for testing it.
When the standalone app doesn't work properly && the web app doesn't work properly in all major browsers it is broken.
Much more resource efficient, faster to close/open, and easier to have (gasp) a tabbed browsing experience to keep an eye on an important channel.
