I just wondered why the download size of AB 2012 (22.7 MB) is 3 times the size of Firefox download (7.54 MB).
I guess it's because Firefox downloads a lot more during installation.
Could AB do it this way?

Except that is not the size of the Firefox download. The current Firefox 6.0.2 download is 13.8 MB.ABman wrote:I just wondered why the download size of AB 2012 (22.7 MB) is 3 times the size of Firefox download (7.54 MB).

AB 2012 a5's size of 16.7 MB is certainly comparable.

Re: Curious about the size of AB 2012
It was the size I last downloaded it!!
I've used the built-in FF updater since then so didn't notice the increase in the initial download size which has, as you say, increased to > 13MBs.

I was happy just with the Trident engine!superfly86 wrote:think about the size when the chrome engine will be added
If I want to use Firefox engine I'll use the Firefox browser.

Re: Curious about the size of AB 2012
I'm just wandering whether Avant allows us to choose which engine(s) to download?
