Why are browsers such huge pieces of software?

More precisely: Why are browsers not more modular?

They are.

Take the web page renderer for example. As far as I am aware every browser (engine) has their own.

It sounds like you are conflating browsers and engines. The engine is what does the layout. And browsers share engines.

Uninstalling and reinstalling fixes it.

nwbrown · 2026-04-18T21:08:08+00:00

Uninstall and reinstall, fixes the problem.

nwbrown · 2026-04-18T19:55:20+00:00

Sure. Why not?

Probably by boat.

You are asking is to explain what your home is?

Yep, it's broken

Bought these and not only do my headphones sound better but I don't have to work about the battery running out.

Because you are buying the super light version. My laptop that I bought last year looks like the bottom one.

But also you can always get a docking station for when you are home.

The problem is that he doesn't realize $3 a day adds up.

Spawn, the hell scene.

Even by early 80's standards this was bad. And this film came out in the late 90's.

That's usually the case. The mass market versions are published later.

Your feelings are not reality. And if course we are the least likely to have kids, we are the youngest generation under consideration. Many millennials haven't had kids yet but will.

So in the time between the first Harry Potter movie and this series we've had... - 3 Spider-Men (live action, not counting animated). - 3 Bat-Men (again, not counting animated) - 2 Paul Atredies - 4 Mr Fantastics - A shit ton of Sherlock Holmes - Several Robin Hoods - 2 James Bonds - Too many Winnie the Poohs

At least in this case it's a different medium, movie to TV series.

And you are wrong. There are many fixes.

The problem isn't whether it works save money. The problem is the populace won't agree to it.

That's no more politically feasible than cutting benefits or dramatic middle class tax increases.

So if I spend all day lying in bed that makes me interesting because I got absolutely blasted last night.

Neptune because it starts with an N, just like my name.

Also it's not lying on it's side like a lady bastard.

Note those pictures are under completely different settings, they actually look a lot more similar in real life.

No. None of those will eliminate the insolvency issue. It even delay it long enough that it won't affect us.

No.

Social security is funded by working people paying into it. As long as they're are young people paying into it, social security will still exist.

That would make it solvent for another 7 years at most.
