Avant Browser going down the drain?

Since April of this year, the new versions of the Avant browser are getting smaller in size. My currently installed version 9.01 Build 120 came in at around 2.8MB download-size.

The latest version 9.02 Build 021 only weighs in at 1MB.

Did anyone install this version with the very small footprint?
Why is it so small, did they finally leave out the Roboform and the Avant overlay was always that small?

Your opinions/suggestions please.

I always have the latest Avant.. It works as well as ever and I like the ad blocking feature. I think they changed something in the executabl/libraries organisation. Culd also b that they changed the installer system.
