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?

In a corporate environment, it's much easier to appear productive when you're furiously banging away at a keyboard and producing lots of code. The guy who just sits there thinking doesn't look like he's doing anything. That's why you get shit like classes containing a single variable and two trivial methods, because "I wrote ten classes today" sounds like you're getting a lot of things done while "I added a few variables and functions" doesn't. I don't work for Apple but a lot of other places love to use metrics like SLoC to measure productivity, which ends up encouraging this WTF-ery.

It's clear and descriptive of its purpose. There is no better way to clearly describe such a complex idea short of inventing a new word to describe it.
