- shadowgovt 7y agoThere's a good breakdown of the decision here [https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=892453 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=892453]. The short version is that the value to devs was offset by the cost borne by every user (those components were in the binary even if they were never used, and they pulled in libraries that weren't used by anything else) and the increased attack surface of having that tool in place.
