Images can be quite small. Debian slim image is 25.9 MB compressed. Alpine image is 2.7 MB compressed. Meanwhile, Selenium’s standalone Chromium image is 348.1 MB compressed.

Selenium implies you have quite a bit of a developer stack, runtimes and SDKs installed too. It would be unfair to attribute all that usage to Chrome alone.
