> have to use several Electron-based programs

Have you thought about running browser-based versions? I tend to find that these behave a lot better.

Maybe I will try it, but in my case I run them isolated under another user account so it means that I will have to run several instances of a browser (but I'll try to compare the memory usage). Because I don't want them to install cookies and track me across the Internet.

Firefox Containers is a great way of doing this without having to run separate browsers

Also incidentally electron apps afaik don't install cookies on your main browser, they should be separate anyway
