That just tells me that web browsers have gotten way too bloated.

    That's not really how it works. Instead it's more, the browser gets to ask the kernel to use your GPU and download assets. Your browser is a VM and the kernel is a hypervisor to it, if that makes sense.

    Yeah that helps, thanks. I guess I was taking the opportunity to commentate on browsers becoming sort of a bloated mess in general. But it might not be relevant this time. I appreciate the insight.
