yeah but look at freaking chromium, 3.2GB compressed archive. That is absolutely insane, and cannot be defended in ANY WAY.
look at what they started with with webkit? chromium is an abomination the likes of which definitively proves there is no god, or that god HATES humanity, as god would have 100% for sure schmited us all down for the atrocity that is chromium.
- moralestapia 3y agoYeah, agree with that. I recall reading about a project who was stripping down chromium to its bare essentials, it seemed quite nice but cannot find it atm.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoContempt culture is so ugly. The bullshit asymmetry principle is so in play, makes it so hard to reel in or temper the ardent zeal. You're also off by 15x. Installed size is 247MB on Debian. https://packages.debian.org/trixie/chromium https://packages.debian.org/trixie/chromium Chromium is one of the most amazing fully featured bundles of computing the planet has ever built. We should be in awe. But, "this has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." Contempt is rampant.
- redeeman 3y agoyou might want to look at what the source archive costs your diskwise :)
- nolist_policy 3y agoYes, and people often forget that web browsers provide 100% backwards-compatibility to 100s of legacy web standards. Of course that bloats things up, see also Windows. Also, parent is maybe refering to the source code size? Which also includes a huge chunk of ChromeOS code.
