If I install Chrome, I expect it to take a few hundred MBs and then only take up additional space in a controlled and transparent manner - for its cache, for example. For me, secretly adding 4GB after installation is a bit too much.

If you're okay with 4GB being added, where would you draw a line? What if it downloaded a 40GB file? 400GB?

Personally I draw the line where Chrome becomes worse than alternatives, and then I switch.

Lately Firefox has been getting better, but I still prefer Chrome for almost all my needs, so I stick to it. This barely even makes a difference to me. If it was 400GB however it would make a difference to me, and I would make more of an effort to switch to something else.

I fail to see scenario where Chrome is better than almost any Chromium alternative with exemption of Google account sync.
