Seems to only be 4 MB because it downloads 100 MB of "embedded browser" when you first run it. I smell an Electron.

It's about 40 MB compressed, and it's only used for authentication. The app will work without it.

I'm really sad it has to be downloaded, but there's no other way to do authentication. Will switch to Servo once it's ready, it's only ~20 MB.
