There is Ladybird browser, its under development andif all goes well, maybe we will see it comming in a couple of years.

Ladybird is IMO a step in the right direction; specially if they're able to release the alpha in 2026, otherwise they might be stuck chasing the Sun indefinitely*. However it is not enough - we should be seeing a situation where anyone reasonably motivated and knowledgeable should be able to pull out their own browser, it shouldn't be restricted to big projects with big sponsors.

*I feel like web standards change so much not due to the underlying tech actually requiring them to do so, but to raise the entry of barrier of new competitors.
