They already are. Mozilla Firefox uses a lot of multi threading and offloads a lot of the rendering to the GPU. So does Chrome. That's a big reason why Mozilla invented Rust: to be able to do this without dealing with a lot of concurrency, security, and stability bugs.

I stand corrected.
But lets just say they were extremely early adopters and single-handedly propelled Rust into the mainstream by essentially bankrolling Rust development for several years until they finally spun it off into a separate foundation a few years ago.
