in reply to [OT]: Google browser(Updated!)

Well, the installer pulls the rest of the executable to your local machine - you don't honestly expect a browser to be only 0.5MB (or whatever the size of the installer is)?

That said, Chrome seems to have an option to prefetch DNS information, which might lead to additional traffic. But I don't know if it is enabled by default. (Update: according to some random /. comment it is enabled by default)
