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.

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.
