What if there were a software development kit (SDK) for browsers, such that anyone with a modicum of proficiency in HTML, CSS and JavaScript could design his own browser GUI.
Well such an SDK is now in alpha; see Mozilla Chromeless Aims for Build-Your-Own Browsers.
Would you give it a try?
What features would you add to and/or subtract from current browsers?
It is not difficult to develop your own web browser. I developed a simple about 15 years ago in C++.
You find a simple example how to start in the two PDF documents in my last signature link.

Browsers nowadays are standard ... They were only pushing what has existed before.
I do not know if it would be a good idea to invent something that comes out of this line, since people would rework to learn to use the tool to surf the internet.
Not sure what you mean by "standard," given that there is neither a standard rendering agent nor user interface.
The upcoming SDK will provide only the former; it will be up to the developer to add the later.
Wouldn't it be easier to write extensions?
Which is more efficient:
- Design and build a house to your specifications; or,
- Modify one built for another?
