"Windows 95 was 30 MB" is such an ignorant, obnoxious, trite take. a triple buffered framebuffer (which you want for smooth scrolling) for my 4K display is 70 MB in *pixels alone*. Obviously a complete webpage with precomposed textures would take more.https://twitter.com/julienPauli/status/1042113172143067138 …

Firefox OS was quite compact; Android apps drag a ton of stuff in apks these days because every older version of Android they support comes with compatibility libraries for that specific version. This is an issue with the design of Android but not modern computing in general

are you saying Android isn’t modern or everything else is super-efficient and only Android is a bad example?

neither
