I really hope we're *not* trying to accomplish that. It will probably
never be possible to implement a web browser using just web
technologies.

A web browser needs the ability to do things like clearing cookies for
arbitrary domains, rendering websites that doesn't want to be iframed,
and grant/deny websites the ability to use geolocation. We don't want
arbitrary websites to be able to do those things.
