Does anyone know where to find unbiased, representative comparisons of memory usage between Tauri and Electron?

Here for V1: https://www.levminer.com/blog/tauri-vs-electron

Note that tauri is not bundling entire browser in binary, it's using WebView of operating system instead. Therefore any comparison should be done on machine that will run your code.

I think the WebView it uses on linux is webkit2gtk. I would expect that to be similar to Electron, but measurements would be better than guesses.
