It's not just you. Browsers are systems-within-systems. They're gigantic, illustrated by the fact that the number of implementations that are well maintained can be counted on one hand. A lot of people take issue with that.

- threatofrain 7y agoOr Microsoft did a back of the napkin calculation and realised that the potential increase in user base for Microsoft products wasn’t worth the money. Their users are already on Windows and Microsoft already has telemetry on them. And we’re talking about the browser guts and not the surface, which is where most of UX lives. But none of this means that Microsoft is browser incompetent.
