What is the scope of what you call the "web stack?" Is DNS, TLS, http, html, css, DOM, ECMA, not enough of a standard/target already? I think the challenge for F/OSS user and privacy-focussed browsers is an environment where a living can't be made with it through licensing/subscriptions. Pureblood Gnu is fine for folks with academic sinecures, but without cash, the bazaar is bare. Brave is making an effort as is the Neeva search engine, probably others too. https://neeva.com/index https://neeva.com/index

It is, but as long as we allow a single party to grossly bloat HTML, http and DNS (ie DoH, http/3) plus driving CSS ad absurdum over the course of 25 years, not to speak of JS APIs, there's not even a theoretical chance of new browsers emerging, since by the time those efforts can be completed, they're obsolete. And Mozilla is complicit in this, yet want to lecture us about the open web and stuff.
