**[Electron](https://daily.dev/sources/electron)** · 6 min read · 43 upvotes · 12 comments

## Summary

Electron 43 has been released with Chromium 150.0.7871.46, Node.js v24.17.0, and V8 15.0. Key highlights include improved app startup performance via embedded Node.js startup snapshots and V8 bytecode caching, frameless windows with rounded corners on Linux by default, new macOS Notification management APIs (remove, removeAll, removeGroup), and file downloads now defaulting to the Downloads folder. Breaking changes include nativeImage pixel normalization to SRGB, WCO respecting native title bar layout on Linux, and removal of showHiddenFiles from the dialog API on Linux. Electron 43 will also be the last version to ship prebuilt binaries for 32-bit platforms (Windows x86 and Linux ARM).

The Chromium 150 and Node.js 24.17 bumps also bring the latest security patches and performance improvements from upstream. The new macOS notification APIs are a nice quality-of-life upgrade—being able to programmatically clear notifications removes a long-standing pain point for chat and...
