WUT?! Tell us you've never built desktop software without telling us you've never built desktop software... The chromium rendering engine is the content-rendering engine for "chromium-based browsers," but that does NOT mean there's a full-on UI underneath that is somehow bloating these products. The bloat is from the additional UI components that the browser vendor (Vivaldi) is adding atop the base package. Most chromium browsers customize the default skin/theme of the overall package so there's absolutely zero added overhead; it's really just a different CSS-based theme pack. Vivaldi, however, adds more than just a different skin; they add built-in extensions (that are managed by other built-in extensions), add other customization modules, and all kinds of other bloat -- and these add-ons are EXACTLY where the resource-hogging stems from. The mere fact it's a chromium-based browser has no impact on the matter. Lastly, power users literally DO notice resource-intensive applications -- they'll even be familiar with tools and widgets that expose those measurements the way only a power-user would! General consumers, however, would simply remark that their rig is sluggish and probably outdated and blindly upgrade to whatever the salespeople are hawking at the local computer store. General consumers wouldn't even upgrade their existing computer cuz they wouldn't know how to! -
