Why browsers are bloated [Part 2]

Cudder is all talk and no action!

I only had the time to do this because of the year-end break, but there surprisingly isn't actually that much more left until Acid2. It needs a CSS parser and selector matcher, and the rendering needs to be finished, but passing Acid2 will already put it ahead of Dildlo and NetSurf.

Incidentally, I downloaded NetSurf 3.6 to see if it's improved since the last time I tried it. It's a single binary, but... FOURTEEN bloody megabytes!? That's bigger than Opera 9.x (which includes a JS engine, and passes Acid2...)! I run it and the first thing I see is a "Warning: CSSBase" popup; not a good start. When I try visiting the Acid2 site, I get an assertion and a completely blank page. The Options dialog (there isn't much in there) has one tab named "Apperance". EPIC FAIL.

But then again, looking at the NetSurf code ( https://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1406427616/549 ), perhaps I shouldn't have been so optimistic.

I have JS off (obviously...) and the images work fine for me.
