I know this sounds bad, but maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Necessity is the mother of invention and maybe browser technology should be funded by governments instead of privately owned advertising megacorps?

Cutting out swaths of code and features - without breaking other code and features - is not a small task.
It’s probably more time consuming and complex than just continuing to update at a slower pace.
