Plugins instead of patches — Max Glenister

Why can't I read this picture book? — Max Glenister

I’ve spent the last five years reading picture books with my kids at bedtime. Hundreds of them - and I’m still going, even as my eldest moves on to chapter books. One thing has consistently driven me mad: I often can’t read the words.

Why does rendering a radio button require multiple dependencies and several kilobytes of JavaScript? How did we make a built-in browser control so complicated?
