Hmm why is it 186.1MB? Where Search is only 2MB? And blocks ads. Seems like much needed browser that is NOT Chromium based. Seems like DDG team can learn something from the way how Search is built.
- Resources are 130MiB, including a phishing filter set json file of 18 MiB, phishing hash prefixes of 6 MiB, lots of images and other resources (js, etc.)
- The main binary is 87MiB
- Another binary of 32MiB for “private information removal”
- VPN proxy extension is 17MiB, the VPN binary is 21MiB + 10MiB in another file
- The network protection app extension is 25MiB + another 25 in another file
The rest is frameworks (mostly Lottie and GRDB, in terms of space).
