> I’m happily walking away from this with an extra 21GB in my pocket! And now I ask you: is your Chrome bigger than mine?<p>Given I don't have to rely on third party updaters, I doubt it. Let's see...<p><pre><code> $ let size=0; dpkg -L chromium | while read path; do if [ -f "$path" ]; then let size=$size+$(du -sb "$path" | awk '{print $1}'); echo $size bytes, $(($size/1024/1024)) megabytes; fi; done;
172060669 bytes, 164 megabytes
$ du -sh .{cache,config}/chromium
8.4M .cache/chromium
25M .config/chromium
</code></pre>
So the cache is 8M, config files 25M and program files 164M (listed by dpkg -L, then some command line magic to add up file sizes). A grand total of just under 200MB.
