They also make Edge launch at startup, it also never really closes when you "close" it.

that bit you can turn off in edge settings.. but the webview engine stays because of widgets and probably some other bullshit.

Thats because of office I believe, since its using edge underneath.

Ah, the edgewebview2 crash. So consistent, so destructive.

This is why I'm glad I mostly just use it for teams, everything else is pretty much ssh from my main workstation (debian).

Wait is the stupid lag in Word because it's running on Electron now???? That explains so much.

Edit: after a little bit of searching, it looks like it just loads webview2 to avoid having to load it if you open any of the add-in search panels. So the lagginess of new word is just inexcusable.
