to be fair sometimes the bloat is for security. but yeah, I'm with you here

Eh security bloat is in the order of kilobytes per megabyte of code.

so somewhere between 1K and 999K per 1M? got it

[-] Hexorg@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Still less than the rest of the data for UI

security devs do tend to focus on performance a lot more than UI UX team does
