To give an example of what I'm thinking of...Kingdom of Loathing, Lioden, Flight Rising.

What are some others? I'm sure there's entire genres of browser-based games I've missed.

Oh yes. I've played quite a few idler-like games, and I hate ones that just go on forever, or for an excessively long time. A good idler, to me, has more mechanics than just spam clicking and incrementing numbers (even though it should incorporate these as core mechanics) and has something that sets it apart from the others, whether that be novel mechanics or some sort of story.
