4MB to download the installer, back in the days when programs just did the thing they did and didn't include runtimes for entire virtual environments.

But what if you want to display Full HD video in the image viewer from an URL? Wouldn't you need Electron for that?

Also I was under the impression just the DLLs for all the image formats would be over 4 MB. I wonder how large is it uncompressed.

FYI, Irfanview might not be able to pull it from an url, but it's playing ful hd video just fine although I wouldn't use it for that.

I'm just at the Revision demoparty in Germany, you should see the audiovisual stuff people are doing in 4kb (yes, 4096 bytes)!

Modern operating systems and especially web dev have made entire generations forget how powerful computers and software are / can be.

The Windows standard file open dialog allows you to paste a http(s) link in, which will be downloaded and opened from the Temp folder. This works with all applications that use that dialog.

This is the lightest fastest yet feature rich media player for windows I know. Its 12 MB compressed though. Didn't know irfanview could do that
