    I am a bit gob-smacked at the size of QtWebEngine.

    I was wondering why my .app was huge and drilled down in the folder structure.

    The directory DeepSkyStacker.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtWebEngineCore.framework takes up over 500MB! QtWebEngineCore alone is 460MB

    Why so humongous?

      Qt Creator team noticed that too, and that's why we are using https://code.qt.io/cgit/playground/qlitehtml.git/about/

      It works fine for Qt Creator's documentation display needs.

          Because it uses Chromium, and Chromium is humongous

            The alternatives would be:

            1. QtWebKit. Last active 6 years ago.
            2. ladybird. No idea if there is a Qt port.
            3. servo. Written in Rust.

            Any others?

              That's pretty much the tradeoff. Chromium has All The Things you might need, but that means it has the disk usage of All The Things.
