+## 5 Reasons to consider Proton
|
|
|
+- **BUNDLE SIZE** of a vanilla Proton app is less than 3 MB - about 140 MB smaller than what you get with Electron.
|
|
|
+- **MEMORY FOOTPRINT** is less than half of the size of an Electron app built from the same codebase.
|
|
|
+- **SECURITY** is Proton's biggest priority and we take it so seriously that we innovate to keep hackers out of your apps.
|
|
|
+- **RELIABILITY** of the underlying code base is why critical libraries have been forked and will be perpetually maintained.
|
|
|
+- **FLOSS** licensing is regretfully impossible with downstream Chromium consumers, like Electron.
