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?

Depth, not width. With is limited only by available memory. I've tested my DOM with a page containing 100M elements and it handled it just fine, whereas Firefox and Chrome crashed.

If you were exceeding those limits your pages wouldn't work in any other browser either.
WHY IN THE FUCK ARE YOU AFRAID OF COMPUTERS DOING WORK?
It's useless, wasted work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muda_(Japanese_term) . Ever wonder why your software feels so slow and consumes so much memory and disk space? Your can blame your attitude and all the other programmers with the same attitude for that waste. Idiot.
