How To Create A Browser In 2025

chromium-memes, browsers-memes, web-development-memes, monoculture-memes, brave-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The modern browser innovation pipeline in a nutshell! Why reinvent the wheel when you can just repaint it? Every "new" browser these days is essentially Chromium with a fresh coat of paint and marketing buzzwords. Brave, Edge, Opera—they're all just Chrome wearing different Halloween costumes. The Chromium monoculture is basically the JavaScript framework situation but for browsers: everyone forking the same codebase while pretending they've created something revolutionary. "Look ma, we added a built-in VPN that slows everything down by 30%!" Meanwhile, Mozilla Firefox sits in the corner, the last bastion of browser engine diversity, wondering where it all went wrong.

The Children Are Our Downfall

Junior developers turning their heads away from perfectly good documentation and help resources to stare longingly at the siren call of ChatGPT with half-baked prompts. The eternal struggle of tech leads everywhere - watching their team ignore centuries of accumulated wisdom in favor of asking an AI "how 2 center div plz?" and then implementing whatever hallucinated garbage it spits out. The documentation might as well be written in invisible ink at this point.

While Redditing I Openned Console And Saw This

Ah, the classic Reddit ASCII Snoo recruitment technique. Nothing says "we need developers" like hiding job ads in the console where only the curious nerds will find them. It's like leaving cheese in a mousetrap, except the cheese is a job opportunity and the mouse is a developer who can't help but inspect every website they visit. Twenty years in the industry and companies are still pulling the "How do you do, fellow hackers?" routine. Gotta respect the hustle though—beats those "we're like a family" job listings.

First Time Using Electron

Expectation: "Lightweight and performant, just the way I like it." *smiles in Mr. Incredible* Reality: *horrified face* as your "simple" app balloons from 25MB to a monstrous 739MB. Nothing says "modern web development" quite like shipping an entire Chrome browser with your calculator app. Your 2GB RAM laptop is sweating nervously in the corner while you explain to users that your "lightweight" app just needs a quick 800MB download. But hey, at least it's cross-platform!

I Just Keep Googling Stuff And It Keeps Working

The secret sauce of modern development revealed! When asked about becoming a coder, the honest answer isn't four years of computer science or mastering algorithms—it's just endlessly Googling error messages until something magically works. The uncomfortable truth is that 90% of our "expertise" is knowing exactly what to search for and which Stack Overflow answer to copy-paste. ChatGPT is just Google with extra steps and fewer captchas asking us to identify traffic lights.

Back In My Day: CSS Was A Rite Of Passage

Grandpa Simpson is basically every senior dev watching juniors slap flex justify-between items-center p-4 rounded-md shadow-lg on everything without understanding what a float is. The CSS purists are sitting on their tree stumps of righteousness while the rest of us are just trying to ship products without writing 200 lines of media queries. Yes, frameworks can be overkill, but have you tried centering a div without one? That's the real horror story.

Are You Bob By Any Chance?

OH. MY. GOD. The eternal curse of the programmer's brain! 🧠💻 One minute you're just innocent Bob coding at night, then BOOM—a brilliant idea strikes! And that's it. Your brain is now a hostage to this feature that ABSOLUTELY MUST be implemented RIGHT THIS SECOND. Sleep? What's that? Some deprecated function? Your pillow becomes your sworn enemy as you stare at the ceiling, mentally refactoring code that doesn't even exist yet. The clock? Just a cruel reminder that you'll be a zombie tomorrow. But who cares? THE FEATURE MUST LIVE! We're all Bob. We're all doomed. Send coffee. ☕
