Apparently, Crosswalk [1] for Android adds "only" about 20MB.

I just compiled a Cordova-based Android-app without Crosswalk, but also without images. Just JavaScript, HTML and CSS and a few plugins and the APK is < 3MB. Was quite surprised by that.

I think a few more years and we can finally stop bundling browsers. It's not like anyone wants to bundle a browser inside their app for fun. That being said, Crosswalk really solved some serious issues for my product so cheers to them.

Yeah, I used it a year or two ago, and it was nice for making sure the experience was the same across all Android devices. Glad to see the built-in Webview is getting place.
