Is Deezer app optimised for macOS on M1 (silicon) chip? Has relatively high CPU usage.

Thanks @Rick P. and @Zayn-T for these answers. 
So what I now understand is that the Deezer “app” on macOS is a browser wrapper, and not a native macOS app (well, the wrapper platform is likely native macOS app, but that’s about it).

So the performance issues are not likely to improve.

I have a couple of browser wrapper applications on my system, so I will create my own wrapper and see if they happen to be any more efficient than whatever Deezer “app” has used for that purpose.

Cheers …

Are the performance issues something Deezer developers are aware of?

The Mac 'app' is a Chromium web browser instance with a bunch of supporting processes wrapped up in an Electron wrapper that looks like a Mac app. Despite appearances there's nothing lite about it. Don't expect it to get any better as long as they use Electron or a similar web wrapper.

A community manager in the past did mention about ‘possible’ development of a M1 version, but it would be interesting to see if this is still a possibility or moved to the back burner (especially with the release shortly of the MacBook Pro & Air M2 versions).

Is Deezer optimised for M1 / silicon chips?

Hey @Jonathan789 

The desktop app is not optimized for M1. 😐
