Thats because todays browsers are way too bloated. A fork that trims unnecessary features could be very effective.

There exist things like NetSurf. Or, remove JS execution from web browsers, and now you have un-bloated web browser that cannot access... 80% of clearnet, and cannot comment on Lemmy.

There have been ideas explored in this direction, like Gemini and Gopher protocols. Some people use them.
