Why browsers are bloated

Let's reinvent the fucking scrollbar, which every goddamn platform with a UI already has, and make it behave subtly different from the native one!

Right-click a native scrollbar in some other app:
- Scroll Here
- Top
- Bottom
- Page Up
- Page Down
- Scroll Up
- Scroll Down

Right-click a scrollbar in Chrome:
- Back
- Forward
- Reload
- Save As...
...

Right-click a scrollbar in Firefox and Opera:
Absolutely fucking nothing happens!

What the fuck!? How did these terminally retarded idiots get involved in creating one of the most important pieces of software to the average user?

The rendering engine needs to interpret every piece of element within the HTML page. It also has to keep track of every element within each web page. This means your rendering engine has to keep track of a lot of information as well as render that information. If you want an example of the complexity of rendering documents with many individual elements, try looking at the source code of Scribus and have a look at the data of a Scribus document.
