I don't even know what we're arguing about anymore. Do you dispute this?

> (Netscape 4/Opera/IE) didn't have a JIT, didn't use hardware accelerated layers, trapped into kernel mode for GDI calls, didn't use accelerated SIMD for painting, and didn't have HTTP 2. It barely had any optimizations for dynamic restyling, so tons of stuff would get reflowed when it didn't have to.

The internal structure of a program = architecture.

The features of a program = functionality.

So we're getting our wires crossed due to word choice.

In any case, I'll admit this has dragged on long enough. Truce?
