Actually less the HN! So while I think this project is cool, if you consider using it, also consider making a &lt;i&gt;in browser&lt;/i&gt; web app. Also remember that the browser is more then just a HTML renderer. You have stuff like speech  recognition, text-to-speech, user input, sound api, 2d&amp;#x2F;3d api, support for a bunch of mobile sensors like accelerometer, etc.</text></comment>

As in, I don&amp;#x27;t need &lt;i&gt;all&lt;/i&gt; of Chrome to do my thing; just the HTML rendering engine and JavaScript interpreter.&lt;p&gt;The thing that makes it 50gb is all the web sockets and ie4-comparable-iframe-shims that nobody ever uses on the desktop.  Lop all that stuff and see how big the install is and how much memory it uses.  My guess is it would be a lot less.</text></comment>
