When was Chrome lightweight? 15 years ago?

Didn't it used to be branded as lightweight?

> I fondly remember the good old days of 2004 when I first started using Firefox as my main browser and thinking how fresh and lightweight it felt compared to the atrocity that was IE. Firefox, sadly, got bloated over the years. So far, Chrome hasn’t put on the same weight

So, yes, 15 years ago.
