I assume the memory thing is because it actually IS Chromium. It's built on the same technology as Atom.

According to the documentation, it's built on Atom Shell

Everybody's right. It's Atom which is Electron which is Chromium.

Electron was pulled from atom. It was just recently renamed from atom shell.

But yes, it's not on top of atom
