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?

August 2011. It was around the time Mozilla released Firefox 4 and started the ridiculous version number race with Google that I realised how horribly user-hostile and mindlessly oppressive browsers had become and it was necessary to do something about it.

Here's the current roadmap:

- HTML parser/DOM generation (pretty much done)
- CSS parser (currently working on)
- CSS box generation and attribute computation
- Renderer
- Network/UI/Misc
** public-domain release **
- JavaScript? WebGL? ...?
