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?

termkit seems like just more shit piled upon shit. really the opposite of the way to go imo.

simplicity? about how "open" the web is and from the looks of it, a few years from now everything will be unspiderable SPA's which only works in the last version of the big 3 "evergreen" browsers. And you'll only be able to ever find anything using one of two different search engines. they got us by the balls mate. you need big teams, big infrastructure, to even get started.

As far as I am able to tell this is the goal of the big three browser implementors. Not versioning standards like HTML5 can only make sense if you don't plan on anyone else ever implementing your "standard".
