Just to add and remind, the amount of LOC and work in a web browser and its engine is more than Linux kernel itself at this point. This goes for both Gecko and Blink/WebKit browsers.
People underestimate the amount of work put in modern web browsers. They are ecosystems at this point.

Yeah, a browser is effectively an operating system at this point.
Thats because todays browsers are way too bloated. A fork that trims unnecessary features could be very effective.
There are browsers that try that only to have broken websites left and right. cough*(GNOME Web)

Its not only about the protocols, Firefox also has other useless features, like the integrated Pocket addon and probably more.
