Browsers are extremely complicated.  

If you want to explore Mozilla's efforts to build a more modern
browser, then I suggest you look over and build Servo: 

https://github.com/servo/servo
https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Design
https://servo.org/ 

It's cool to imagine free software and privacy communities turning
Servo into a viable browser that caters to their interests.  Afaik,
Servo is the only realistic option for minimizing C code in the browser
too.  In reality, Servo fails to render much of the web correctly
because it's a messy problem.
