There's an oft repeated claim about "Modern Browsers are some of the most complex projects"
Yeah no shit, when you have browser vendors shipping features that have no place in browser, it's hardly surprising.
Why does a browser need screen sharing built in? Why does it need a vpn client?
You know there's a fucking operating system running under the browser that can run those things without worrying about how they impact on a fucking browser, right?
- petcat 7mo ago> Why does it need a vpn client? Do think your web browser also should not have SOCKS and HTTP Proxy support? What about DNS-over-HTTPS?
- stephenr 7mo agoProxies are protocol specific. A vpn is a network layer tunnel. Does your browser also include its own built in ip stack? Maybe it should have its own window system. DNS arguably would also be best left to the OS, yes.
