I don't mean this as a slight against you but it's incredible how much code it takes to write a browser that barely works. I've always thought it would be fun to write a browser in erlang/elixir due to its fault tolerance (a memory from the early days when browsers would constantly crash), but browsers are so outrageously complex with such intense performance requirements the thought of even creating a repo sickens me. I mean it looks like you guys have 100+ files, with half of the files being ~500+ lines of code.

Incredible work and dedication

Browsers might be the second most complex project you could build, the first one is an OS, also browsers can be categorized as an OS actually.
