> Take the Google homepage. It’s a one liner text field and two buttons. It weighs in at a whopping 1170 kilobytes! That’s more than a megabyte for what technically should not take more than a few hundred bytes.
The Google homepage does a lot more than that. Since it is one of the most important pages for Google, I think that the engineers over there know what they are doing.
I don't think it is a good example of bloat.
