You're asking for a completely new browser engine to be written. A browser with a completely new browser engine isn't going to be "good" for a long time, because most webpages will just be broken on it, until they've managed to implement some portion of the webstandards in a semi-decent way. The upfront-investment is ridiculous. Which is also why no one's done it since last millenium.
There's only one project, that I'm aware of, that's semi-seriously trying to write a new browser engine:
Mozilla is working on a completely new browser engine, called Servo, and they've been working on that since 2013 and it's still miles away from actually being usable for every-day-browsing.
It is good in other ways, really good performance and security, but if you prefer Pale Moon over Firefox, that's probably not even what you're looking for either.
Officially, it's a research project, some components from it have just recently been included into Firefox, and yeah, it's not even necessarily going to be turned into a complete browser.
Mr. pcwalton (who also replied to you) is one of the core-devs on Servo, so if you have questions about Servo, he's probably more qualified to answer those than I am.
- Endy 9y agoThe major issue there is that "Mozilla is developing" means that whatever browser discussed after that really is only as independent as the current Firefox, which is basically not Firefox anymore. It's "looks like Chrome, works like Chrome, branded as Firefox". So yeah, for the moment I guess Pale Moon is the best out there for me.
