They are adding them as features to the browser, making it heavier and slower, instead of adding them as optional extensions so that they are only there for the ones who wish them.

How do you know the features are making the browser slower?

How are you quantifying the increase in weight?

Just disable them. It's not like unused code paths consume resources usually.

Whoa, you've already seen the features and already know how they are implemented? Tell me, what's the future like?
