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?

I want all information to be free and I want to share my creations with the world
Nice

But there are also some terrible people in the world.
There are.

For my own sake I want to deprive these people of knowledge about myself
Do you consider a minimalist web browser to be "knowledge about yourself"?

So my contributions to the open net are limited.
What the hell?!

Have you ever witnessed what happens when you are linked to your online life and you piss off some people?
Yes, but what does that have to do with anything? Will your browser piss someone off? Will they link it to your real identity? Why the hell don't you just start contributing anonymously, without letting people know it's you?

Crazy bastard.
