The Google Chrome app on a Mac can also still have previous versions inside it.

Right-click on it and go to Show Package Contents. Then navigate to Contents > Frameworks > Google Chrome Framework.framework > Versions

You'll also see a symbolic link to 'Current'. Right-click > Get Info. on that to see which folder to 'not' delete.

Ah ha, yes the math works out.

I've got 2 versions (230.1 MB and 228.7 MB). The commenter I was responding to therefore must have 3. So the "real" size is ~230 MB, which does seem pretty reasonable, and totally in line with Firefox as well.

(For comparison, Calibre is 207 MB, Gimp is 224 MB, and Kindle is 210 MB, while Word is a whopping 2.11 GB, and Photoshop is a similarly gigantic 2.45 GB.)

Ha, yes you are exactly right, had three in there.
