Huge libcef.so in Linux standalone

I have been producing standalones for Linux with total size around 30MB. Suddenly this has gone up to 140MB. I found there is a file called libcef.so, around 120mb that was not there before. Any idea what this is?
I am using a Mac and LC indy 9.0.4.
I think only change I made to inclusions is OAuth which I think is not needed anyway.

That's a browser engine, needed for the Browser widget.

Especially since it doesn't work on linux anyway.

I checked in the Inclusions. I do not have Browser checked. I have HTTPD checked and if that is unchecked, libcef.so is still in the standalone. How do I get rid of it pls?

Hi folks. Do you know how I stop libcef.so from embedding itself in the standalone? I assumed it would be in the Inclusions. Browser is unchecked there and I cannot see anything else browser related. Thanks.

Hi Kaveh,
Have you selected "Select inclusions.." in the General Pane of standalone settings ?

Yes. I have selected "Select Inclusions..." and I have the following items selected for inclusion:
oAuth2 Library
JSON Library
HTTPD Library
Internet
MySQL
Database
SSL & Encryption

Well, for testing purposes, you could unchecked some of these one by one ( HTTPD, Internet, ?)
and maybe you'll find the culprit...
Another point: You're still using an old version of Livecode, do you?

I am using 9.0.4 rc3, Mac. It was working fine before.
I will do some testing but of course I do need Internet. Thanks Thierry for the help and all the offline help with sunnYrex too! Thankfully I have not had to bother you for a while as it is working nicely.

Mmm, 1 second before dying, one was fully alive
You have changed quite few things last week, building your standalone...

Sure, only to narrow down the problem...

Glad that you appreciate it.
BTW, a new powerful function is on his way for sunnYrex...

Hi all
I removed:
oAuth2 Library
HTTPD Library
and it is now working correctly without including libcef.so. fingers crossed it will stay that way.
