Sigh. How many times have we been round this cycle now?

1. Design a nice minimalist browser. It's fast on low resource systems.
2. Get lots of users who appreciate the speed.
3. Wait a minute, we don't have necessary features such as pop-up blocking, adblocking, phishing detection, etc.
4. Add them. Oh dear, we've become a bloated big browser.
5. Rinse and repeat.
