Teams, like a lot of MS products, uses Edge Webview 2 (an Electron clone). So if you have Teams, and VS Code, and Chrome or Edge running you are running 3 Chromium instances.
Ew. But, are they all statically linked and can't share pages for libs in memory? They're all boating their own space without any kind of sharing? Pardon me and how dumb I am about windows, as I'm intentionally just a reluctant pedestrian on it since 3.1 .
Chromium is pretty much its own operating system, you might as well be running a Linux VM every time you open an instance of Chromium and it is just as sandboxed as any other VM would be so there is no sharing at all.
on top of that, I'm pretty sure electron apps in the background can't be moved from RAM to Pagefile when they've been idle for a while . . . id imagine edge webview likely works the same
