Depends, there is a bunch of Electron apps that work just fine as websites (e.g. Slack, Spotify, Microsoft Teams, etc. As far as I know). I personally prefer running those in a browser tab to both save resources and benefit from privacy enhancing tools like content blockers, etc. I would be curious to know how many of the Electron apps actually need these extra native APIs.

Some of those you listed have extra features with electron. I was just being sarcastic with my remark. Like I don’t believe you can screen share with slack via a browser for example.

If you can't, it's not the browser's fault. I can definitely screen share in Jitsi from the browser, so there's no technical reason Slack shouldn't be able to do the same thing.

You can show your screen but you cannot pass control.
