So... the only differences are not running this as a separate process and NIH?

Presumably lower memory usage due to not running in a separate process. On a low-end PC this is a completely valid concern. Chrome is memory hungry. Running one instance might be viable. Running 2, 3 or 6 probably isn't (and you can always choose a less memory-hungry browser).

If performances are a concern I would build it in QT, not Javascript. Just opening Firefox eats like 400 MB ram on my PC !
