Agree. Here's how to approach it, imho:
1. Assume we will eventually converge to a virtual machine target like WASM. Thus, eventually, browsers will only have to implement the low-level instructions of WASM, which will make building a browser much simpler. Note that as a side-effect, browsers may also become more secure.
2. Start with a working webbrowser, like Firefox or Chromium.
3. Step by step, move functionality from the browser into the browser's user-space. Eventually, JavaScript and the rendering of CSS and HTML will run in the browser's user-space.
