keep in mind that the web specifications are incredibly complex. by some counts it’s probably the most complex program most people will ever use. to be clear, that count includes a lot of stuff that has never been implemented. but even so, you would have to read and implement a substantial subset of these to make a web browser. even if you hard fork an existing browser, you have to deal with every new bug and security issue and feature and every new spec the w3c puts out. it’s a huge fucking mess.
