You think web browsers should not exist?

Yes. Multiple historical layers, each giving the creators way too much power over presentation, while they are still supposed to handle stuff like accessibility themselves, making a company webpage a thousand manhours project. Browsers being monoliths is only one page of the book.

How do you write Google Chrome, and all of it's dependencies, in one page of code?

So we agree that browsers are way too complex?

Yes. Multiple historical layers (...)

This is reaching a level of idiocy that's completely unheard of.

Just say you know nothing about what you're saying and you're completely oblivious, and sit out the rest of the discussion.

Please refrain from using personal insults in this community. You're free to express your opinion, but personal insults does nothing but make the community more toxic. c/programming is a gathering ground for both inexperienced and experienced programmers, so this level of lashing out is uncalled for.
