TOdays update was 124 Mb. Updates are very frequent which is not a bad thing on its own but, you are filling up my hard drive. 124 Megs is a lot of code, WTHeck are you guys pushing? I think Windows NT4 was 128MB

124MB isn’t that big. if you do apt upgrade it should tell you how much more disk will be used or freed by a set of updates. you can also clear your apt cache if you’re really that worried about storage space.

Absent some major changes in the Brave features, look at the chromium change log to see what changed upstream (which is probably responsible for the vast majority of the size difference).
