if youtube uses 100mb just to work and still run fine with all of this (including Scratch 3) on a Chromebook why can't Scratch 3 on a Windows PC?

Chromebook and Microsoft Windows are two different operating systems, that run on two different programs.

But this is the based off of the idea of wrapping scratch 3 into whats basically a browser.

Did you read my post?
I said that 100,000K is too much RAM for just 1 program. Even when you have 16GB of RAM.

but this forum post is about porting the project directly onto your computer to avoid server crashes, like the ones that have been happening recently. If the scratch 3.0 editor was wrapped into a browser (e.g. google chrome, mozilla firefox) it would have to run on servers like the main website does, and that would defeat the whole meaning of an “offline editor”.

No it wouldn't. It would just have to store the Scratch 3 page offline and run that in a browser. That's what we're talking about.

OHHHH ok. Wasn't thinking right

The three circled are the programs I opened… the others are just there in the background and I can't remove them.
I have 4gb of ram.

Most people will be running projects with at least 4GB of RAM. It takes around 20 Chrome tabs on a Chromebook at my school in order to see any real slowdown, and that's only on 4GB of RAM. With 8GB becoming the standard, running what equates to one tab in a web browser won't be a problem on modern computers and even fairly old ones.

Chrome OS is completely different.

No it's not, do your research before saying things are completely different please.

Chrome OS is optimised for web browsing (well, at least I think it is, it's only actual function is to browse the internet so I would think it would be optimised), and also doesn't have any ability to run actual applications, so it doesn't have to worry about anything slowing it down.

The conversion from scratch code to another programming language will most likely be hard as in scratch things are coded differently. For example in python you require modules to add features. For example: pygame
This is most likely the same in other programming languages like, C, C+, C++, Java etc.
No support.

Still, my dad's laptop running MacOS has 4GB of ram and runs 10+ Chrome tabs fine. I don't see why most computers couldn't handle another tab.

Also, some games use more RAM than one Chrome tab, and people have no problems running them (ex. Roblox, Minecraft).

Not everyone uses Chrome. I use firefox, which can take up quite a lot of RAM.
It's not that much of an issue for me (I have 16GB) but it can be annoying sometimes.

But they all use a similar amount of RAM. Chrome just uses slightly more.

The whole meme about web browsers using so much memory is all from extreme multitaskers with 30+ tabs open. Most people only have >10 tabs, so it shouldn't be an issue.
