    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.

      Thats because todays browsers are way too bloated. A fork that trims unnecessary features could be very effective.

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