It's not very fair, I feel, to drag browser binary size into it. Those hundreds of megabytes give you a UI. If you have a QT or GTK app then the dependency you will drag in will not be small (and heaven forbid you depend on some Gnome or KDE lib). I do agree about the browser UI performance though - why I can't scroll a page without the tearing effect in 2016 on an 8 core machine with 16GB of RAM is beyond me ...
