XUL was a different stack. This is using the same stack.

You are right, the "HTML-is-the-UI" confused me. Related but different.

A general superpowered UI framework is the primary purpose of a browser, I don't see why it ever needed a second UI framework just for the chrome. Maybe HTML/CSS just wasn't up to snuff at the time.

This is a great thing! Custom browser UI is just a custom web page!
