It may be possible to implement the “fancy document viewer” part of the browser but “application execution environment” part of the browser won’t happen without billions of $. Unfortunately many sites today are web applications so usefulness of “fancy document viewer” is limited - I sill would like to have on, perhaps more people would consider not using JavaScript for their site.
The "application execution environment” is where the web went wrong imo, and it would be nice to build a new internet without that. Otherwise we will be stuck with huge browsers developed by billion dollar companies forever.
Of course it would be a niche thing, at least for the intermediate future.

Yes. We still have Gopher and Gemini is a new protocol that tries to do the “fancy document” web from scratch.
