### Smaller builds
The Chrome binary contains embedded symbols by default. You can reduce its size
by using the Linux `strip` command to remove this debug information. You can
also reduce binary size by disabling debug mode, disabling dchecks, and turning
on all optimizations by enabling official build mode, with these GN args:
```
is_debug = false
dcheck_always_on = false
is_official_build = true
```
