>Our requirements for the app were: to be lightweight and fast, in other words, use as little CPU cycles and memory as possible. [...] For the GUI, we chose the Tauri platform on which we built a React frontend. Tauri reuses an already installed browser on your system.

Ah, yes, that's one way to "use as little CPU cycles and memory as possible" for sure.

Reusing the already installed browser is better than Electron, which packages its own browser. Many popular apps, like Slack, Asana, Discord, Github Desktop each install a full browser on your system (see https://www.electronjs.org/apps for more).
