You'd be suprised how much of the browser your dealing with as a facade- they sell things like a headless browser that don't oblige by the most basic of requests given to the browser e.g hide all the scrollbars that in addition to using double the resources and taking twice as long to preform any operations I tell you that thing looks shiny on the surface but their is nothing their I think the work should be done on building and making webkit, blink and gecko better as the referece implementations before we try and yet again make something shiny that can barely do the job it should be
