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?

Software doesn't feel slow

:facepalm:

Your perception has been distorted by so much exposure to ENTERPRISE QUALITY bloatshit that you don't even notice anymore what a fat lazy pig you are. The insane "but it's scalable" argument doesn't hold up, you're basically advocating for people to do the equivalent of getting in the car to drive 10 feet instead of walking; just because YOU usually have to travel 100 times farther doesn't mean it applies to everyone and it's a ridiculous waste to think it does.

Any system that's built as "waste-free" as possible will always be the most brittle way to build it. Would you like a hydroelectric dam built next to your house not to waste concrete, and be exactly the thickness which can withstand observed pressures? Any more would be wasteful, right?

They wouldn't use 10x, 100x, 1000x, or even more concrete either. You're basically arguing for "let's use ALL THE FUCKING CONCRETE IN THE WORLD and make it so thick that it becomes the only thing on the Earth." And "robustness"? More ENTERPRISE QUALITY bullshit. Fuck this insane architecture astronautism.

O RLY? Show proof. Numbers, not vague claims.
