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?

The web as a distributed application platform had evolved into this way. It is not insane to ask for reasonable extensions to a simple distributed platform. What I like about web technologies as a distributed application platform is that the development work is high level. I can develop applications very quickly because the low level mechanisms are highly abstracted allowing me to focus on business logic rather than OSI network/operating system logic.

That measure is meaningless without more context. You need to specify what exact pages you have loaded and what extensions and plugins you have loaded.
