I'm curious how people feel about this. On Linux MX-21 I find total file sizes under two main directories for three browsers: Edge-beta, Google-chrome, & Firefox.
There are two main directories for each browser:
Question: Do you feel a larger footprint - more code - results in more potential browser exploits? Does the "less is more" adage count in this case?
There are two main directories for each browser:
- Edge-beta: /opt/microsoft/ + /home/user/.config/microsoft-edge-beta/ = 377.5 MiB + 133.2 MiB=510.7 MiB total
- Google-chrome-stable: /opt/google/ + /home/user/.config/google-chrome-stable/ = 270.3 MiB + 145.4 MiB = 415.7 MiB total
- Firefox: /opt/firefox/ + /home/user/.mozilla/ = 222.6 MiB + 55.7 MiB = 278.3 MiB total
