Twenty five what? Megabytes? Mebibytes? Percent? Libraries of Congress? Furlongs per fortnight? Inverse femtobarns?

I can guess you mean "MiB" (mebibytes) from the charts, but units are always important. Bare numbers leads to confusion! It's good practice to always include units, even if it's a simple "All numbers are in MiB" at the top.



I guess that its MB, I've created a PR with the list reformatted as a table with the MB column right-aligned so the data is more scannable: https://github.com/ianchanning/your-web-app-is-bloated/tree/...


It's Mebibytes (megabinary) from the units in the pictures, so it's slighty more in megabytes. 1MiB = 1.04858MB

So Google Inbox actually uses 225.4447 MB


I've just updated the table header to reflect that it's MiB - plus its sorted now. Interesting to see is Google Inbox at the top vs Gmail (vintage) at the bottom
