Alibaba already have their own browser of a sort (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_Browser). As I understand it, it's some kind of thin mobile browser which renders on the server side.

There are multiple versions of UC browser. My understanding of it is:
- uc mobile on Android now uses the blink engine, it used to use Webkit. - uc mini ( I think that's the name) has server renderer but it's "uc engine" is a derivative of gecko (not checked recently)
