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?

That is not mine... and I wouldn't even want to call it mine.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. :facepalm: :facepalm: :visagearecaceae:

Over 2K lines of C spread across half a dozen files just to implement an HTML tokeniser!? Mine is less than 768 lines of x86 Asm, in one file. What sort of - dogmatic - insanity causes someone to turn a reasonably simple state machine that would most sanely be implemented as a single switch into a bloody mess of several dozen functions with massive code duplication? This is like copy-paste coding taken to the next level. A lot of what I wrote about Hubbub (NetSurf)'s tokeniser in >>549 applies to this abomination too, including the several-dozen-character-long variable names, horrificly duplicated EOF checking every-fucking-where, and allocating (and freeing) on every goddamn token the thing processes.

The most amusing part is there is not a single switch statement anywhere!!!

This level of bloatyness is only slightly reasonable if he was being paid per line of code.
