There is Chromium based Yandex Browser Lite which requires only 1mb of storage size https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yandex.bro...

I'd assume it's either a proxy browser and not doing much locally or just using Android's WebView; even Opera/Presto towards its end couldn't fit in such a small binary despite targetting tiny devices.

Probably uses the native Android Webview...
