shouldn't be too hard to figure out what up, right? download the .apk and profile the data in it.
if i had to guess, its shipping its own chrome engine for the UI. maybe theres also a vision model in there for ocr/tagging.

What's the point of a screenshot app when iOS has a native built-in screenshot feature?

Its a screenshot sourcer+classifier. You take a screenshot of a dish and it finds the recipe and so on.
It probably packs OCR, google lens and who knows what else. A better developer could do it in 300MB.

Snipping Tool on W11 is ~750 MB.
Photos on W11 is ~550 MB.
Edge on W11 is 2.1 GB.
You WILL get used to those sizes of something that isn't supposed to be over 100 MB.
>inb4 no they aren't
Yeah they are, the app list doesn't show proper sizes, literally go DL Snipping Tool from the Store and see for yourself.

Yes even with weird driver issues and bsods it was still better than current react slop

Safari is definitely bigger, it's just that WebKit is part of the OS. This is also why you can't update Safari without also updating the OS.

Edge installer is an offline MSI, the snipping tool and photos are fat UWP installers so they bundle all their dependencies which is managed and deduplicated by the installer. The application list size is accurate to the size of the program itself

Try 10MB
Unless it's something graphics heavy like blender I see no reason why software should be more than around 10MB

Not really approprietate examples because those are core first party apps deeply tied and linked to the OS.
It just means they're dynamically linked apps, which is a great idea if you can keep the application up-to-date with the OS libraries and since Apple controls both OS and app, they can.

3rd party apps, and in particular multi-platform apps, tend to bundle everything they need.

This isn't a good headline though. All of this shit got worse after spectre and other attacks. I agree, most software is written by absolute retards, but that's not the problem here. All the extra security shit, virtualization, etc, has a metric ton of compounding performance costs, which includes packaging trivial software with vetted dependencies.

I really, really hope people here aren't retarded enough to ignore or fail to consider that.
