Calling it 4MB is a bit ludicrous. On first run (on linux) it downloads half a GB worth (508 MB to be exact) of 'browser content'. On first run.

So this isn't light or native. It uses the same Chromium codebase, but atleast twice the size of Electron apps.

If the rest of you are wondering where the bulk of it came from, check libcef.so (466 MB)- which is Chromium Embedded Framework.
