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?

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.
