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?

Instead of making a new special browser, why not make different clients for different things?

The problem is, picture an ant walking across your garage floor, trying to make a straight line of it. It ain't gonna make a straight line. And you know this because you have perspective. You can see the ant walking around, going hee hee hee, look at him locally optimize for that rock, and now he's going off this way, right?

A lisp browser using WebKit
It uses webkit, so it's nothing useful.
Why do you need a thread (http://progrider.org/prog/read/1417664167 ) for this if you posted it here?

Mentioned in >>110. Dildlo's parser is a bloody mess - just look at how it parses attributes - by scanning the whole damn tag every time. It's also not very HTML5-compliant either.

Name: Anonymous 2014-12-10 14:29

tl,dr: It's not perfect. Therefore, it's completely worthless.

Why not revamp the attribute parsing and send the patch to the developers?
And looks like they are working on HTML5, they have just added HTML5 character references for version 3.1.

If even then you aren't satisfied, why not fork it? It's a good starting point, just keep what's great and ditch what isn't. Simple.

You didn't make this post about marijuana?

Can you please make your web-browser source available so we can analyse it, test and send patches?
Just use cgit or something http://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/

It's only a good starting point if it's actually good and already does what you want it to do.

Because then I'd have to rewrite a whole lot more than that piece. I have a parser already (>>123). Also, C++.

Call them by feminine pronouns? Oo, so painful.
Or maybe you make them your presidents like you did with Nixon? "I am not a crook", haha.

He technically called you by a feminine possessive adjective. No pronoun.

Sad that in English some pronouns are called "adjectives" for no reason. "Her" is the possessive form of "she" and thus is a pronoun. It serves the same purpose as all other pronouns (anaphora), as opposed to real possessive adjectives like "Jane's" or "Sussman's".

Debatable. "Hers" would be a real pronoun, as it actually takes the place of a noun. "Her" is an adjective merely because it modifies a noun.

"I have my shoes and hers as well" (pronoun)
"I have her shoes" (adjective)

As for "Sussman's" you're describing an inflection of a noun, which doesn't make it an adjective.

As for "her" you're describing an inflection of a pronoun, which doesn't make it an adjective.

Adjectives are definite, pronouns are anaphoric (i.e. refer to something dependent entirely on the context). "Green" or "Jane's" refer to greenness and Jane respectively in any context, while "her" refers to something that has as many meanings as there are possible contexts. Thus, "her" is a pronoun.

Furthermore, "her" couldn't be a pronoun because it could never act as the subject or object of the verb (which is the definition of a noun - and pronouns act as substituted nouns.)

One couldn't say "her is great" nor "I have her"; one would always say "hers is great and "I have hers." The adjective her could only work if followed by a noun.

The same thing could be said for my/mine, your/yours, our/ours, etc.

Then it's a proadjective. It acts as a substitution of an adjective but it's not an adjective.
But if "Sussman's" is a nout (an inflected form of a noun), then "her" is an inflected form of a pronoun.

Just because her is derived etymologically from a pronoun doesn't make it an inflected form of a pronoun. The inflected form of the pronoun "she" would be "hers." The adjective "her" is related to it, yes, but that doesn't make it a pronoun in itself. It's actually a determiner. Some determiners can serve as both adjectives and pronouns, like "this" and "that", but "her" cannot. It can only describe nouns and cannot stand in for a noun by itself. Maybe a proadjective is the better term for it.

"Sussman's" is a noun because it's the possessive form. Yes, it can describe other nouns, as in "Sussman's book", but it can also stand by itself, as in "I read that book, but Sussman's is better."

Now don't get me wrong, some adjectives can act as nouns, as in "red is my favorite color" or "hand me the reds" (in reference to cigarettes.) But possessive adjectives cannot do this.
