      It would also be sustainable if browsers just added less features over time.

      The problem right now isn't so much that the browser is a monstrously complex thing (whatever just fork Firefox), it's that Chromium has 97% market share so anything Google decides to push becomes a de facto standard, and they use this position to push more new shit than a hobbyist org could ever keep up with.
