Why is Chromium so huge?
- tomcam 5y agoWhat would you do to shrink it?
- wyager 5y agoThat would require me knowing the answer to the question I asked.
- rackjack 5y agoThis might be a nerd-sniping question because there are lots of reasons and people will fight over which ones are most relevant. e.g. V8, rendering, myriad web protocols, security measures, etc. From my understanding at least.
- glandium 5y agoDebug info is huge.
- mrich 5y agoAre they using split dwarf? This avoids linking the debug info.
- simlevesque 5y agoBack when I was using Gentoo, Chromium was the biggest dependency on my machine, by far. When there was an update I couldn't use my machine for like 30 minutes.
- IshKebab 5y agoIt includes a mountain of stuff. Think of all the web APIs that exist.
