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?

Yes, something incredible is by extention unbelievable, but nobody says "I don't believe you. You're being incredible." Likewise, nobody says "I'm so scared because that was terrible!" The two words have evolved different meanings. Incredible has come to be synonymous with amazing. Terribe has come to be synonymous with bad. If I translated "nomen dei terribilis est" as "God's name is terrible", I'm sure there would be plenty of christians offended by that usage.

Furthermore, as I pointed out on the /lounge/ discussion of this same topic, the word literally itself is a figurative usage. The word literally means "pertaining to letters." (From the Latin 'litteralis", "of letters", from "littera", "letter") Its usage outside of letters is by extension, and therefore, figurative. I also pointed out that etymology does not dictate meaning, but it is nonetheless an interesting note to add, especially since you suggested that word literally can't be used figuratively.
