The notation at filecrypto is wrong, they should say GiB and not GB
too bad for oldschoolers like me, they changed the meaning of GigaBytes to Billions of bytes (10^9 bytes) and not anymore 2^30 bytes, which is instead renamed to GibiBytes.

Actually, they list Gigabytes. It's nearly the same as Windows lists it as:
It's actually 5 138 022 400 bytes or 5.138 GiB - Vivaldi rounds this up to 5.14.
Even funnier, Google Drive lists it as:
Size 5 GBI think a while ago Vivaldi decided to use GiB and not GB. Just because it's geekier I guess - and also more accurate

I remember when TPB changed its listing to GiB, it was confusing
