Latest version of puppeteer (1.18.0) increases slug size dramatically

Just wanted to post this here for the SEO as it took me quite awhile to figure out and others on Heroku are likely to hit it.

Compiled slug size: 500.6M is too large (max is 500M)

For me latest version of puppeteer (1.18.0) on linux downloads all these files,

This version of Chromium completely blew away my Heroku slug size. Here is the puppeteer issue,
puppeteer/puppeteer#4610
Reverting to 1.17.0 fixes it. Update occurred just a few days ago so timeline fits and installing 1.17.0 dropped my slug size back down by about 200 mb.

So what's the solution? I have the same issue. My slug size is too big.

Looks like this was a bug and was fixed in a subsequent release puppeteer/puppeteer#4610 (comment)
