Hi, Im wonder how did your apk only 100mb, while chromium is 500mb, what is the different? also can i know if i can build one? can you give me like docs or something about size reduce? because i only need the webview lib. hope you will reply. Thanks

It seems that you used the args parameters given by Google to compile the webview. It should be noted that the args parameters given by Google often lack optimization and include debugging symbols. This may be the reason why you get an apk that takes up a particularly large space.

For more information about our browser or webview, see the Thorium main repo.

Oh, you right! i have more question, can i use thorium source to build my own webview for my public python library? Do I have to use the same license as thorium? I'm bad at this point. Thanks
