It looks like a poor design desicion made 20 years ago (that wheel event is synchronous and must be run before scrolling) leads to all major browsers code becoming unnecessary complicated. I think it would be better to discard that design and make a new event system that would be used with new pages (and don't waste developers' resources to optimize old pages). Maintaining compatibility is good, but at some point we need to stop and make a new design. By the way here are the things I'd like to get fixed too: - make a distinction between same-domain and cross-domain requests (use another HTTP method for cross-domain POST request) so all sites get XSRF vulnerability fixed - make cross-domain requests anonymous by default - make cookies unaccessible to Javascript by default - stop JS loading from blocking the page so we can put script tags in the header where it makes more sense - make as much events asynchronous as possible - fix keyboard events, key codes and mouse buttons numbers - make it impossible to change window.opener.location and windows.parent.location - add CSS rules to set width for a column in a table, not for cells - add error reporting so if some resource (like a script) fails to load the user gets a message that the page is broken
