Many reasons, but two off the top of my head: 1. We do distribution deals
with Chrome, where we bundle Chrome with other products. These get difficult
when our binary grows. 2. We see increased download failures / install
dropoffs as the binary grows, especially in countries with poor bandwidth
like India. India also happens to be a very good market for Chrome (we have
good market share there and growing), so that's also very problematic.
