Thanks to the Developer Team, For the efforts of Bromite, "Chromium Vanilla" and System Webview.

My personal aspect point request and suggestion, for the Bromite as well as "ALL other app's downloads", Bromite Installation File Size is approx. 119.17 MB (on 32-bit armeabi-v7a).

(I'm not Software developer, So if by chance any mistake, then kindly let me know).

If zip-aligned and packed the "Installer (download) file" with the following process, Example As :-

MIME ; (application/x-7z-compressed),

".7z" (7z Archive Zip File) (NOTE ; Licensed under LGPL version 2.1),

compression; level "ultra", method "FastLZMA2 (default)", mode "solid",

This results clear 38%, it will occupy just 46.45 MB on size (almost 62% savings, in actual of 119.17 MB).

benefits; 1) this compression method approach will save "storage system" on your owned hosting website www.bromite.org or github, 2) as well as bandwidth, to download the installation file ; ".apk" to many end users like me.

may be, or irrespective of 32-bit or 64-bit, Chromium Vanilla, WebView.

Will you consider this aspect point ?,

thanks.

one real practical highlighting approach of "Firefox Browser for Android"; app downloaded size is 73.90MB, app (self core) installation size is 199MB on System, so resulting 37.13% (saving 62.86% on storage size bandwidth).

Approximately, for past 2 years,

Android OS app's installation or updating ; new file extension .apks (split app installer) method had been already adopted,

Initially, thought you are expert or master, and can easily take these initiative.

Now, i feel regret opening this,

Ignore this issue and allied discussion. From myside as well as from your side also.
