File size pretty big (Selenium) - zxPhantomBlade - Jul 17, 2020
Hello,
I have made a small tool which uses selenium and the geckodriver (for Firefox) aswell as the Webdriver.dll file.
In order for other people to use it they must have both the geckodriver and the Webdriver.dll so i embeded them
into the C# project and when the program runs it extracts both files in the current directory so i can run selenium.
Now the problem is, that the file size is now 11 MB big which is pretty huge.
How can i reduce the file size?

Host those files online and whenever the program initializes just check if they have that files, if not download them from the internet automatically with a WebClient.

That's the same thing as downloading them from the get-go.
Zip your file/folder with best compression.

Use installer, and let the installer do its job
