Why does a browser need to be continually updated?

Is Google/W3C adding more features and busy work to keep browser developers employed?

Most of those changes would be supported by the underlying rendering engine, and the only ones doing that afaik are Ladybird.

It's simply that building and mantaining _the rest_ of what we now expect a modern browser to be is staggeringly hard.

Yes. I left a feedback about a website posted on HN, turns out it works just fine on the latest version of Vivaldi, but not a previous version from a few months ago. So yeah, gotta keep it updated. :(
