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?

SOFT_LINK(uxtheme, DrawThemeBackground, HRESULT, WINAPI, (HANDLE hTheme, HDC hdc, int iPartId, int iStateId, const RECT* pRect, const RECT* pClipRect), (hTheme, hdc, iPartId, iStateId, pRect, pClipRect))
MICROSOFT QUALITY

Either way, the web standards are too bad and bloated to make a good browser. All you can do is wait until everything died its slow death and is replaced by the glorious decentralized Lisp Web.
