> To justify the added complexity. Have you had a look at Chromium's source tree[1]? It's huge! I don't know how much complexity they'd save themselves removing a small feature like that (although you never know). Have a look at the building instructions[2] as well. "Due mostly to its history and its complexity, Chromium uses a nonstandard set of custom tools to check out and build." It's a good showcase on the complexity of a browser (and Chrome feels so light and speedy as well.)
