Yeah - there really is a opportunity now to rethink browsers as just sandboxed rendering windows using WebAssembly + WebGPU.

Could still have typical DOM rendering handled with Webassembly delivered by the web sites (ideally cached). The challenge is though still having standards and accessibility options. That VeryGoodGraphics example allows for no text selection - and doesn't at all handle zooming. Still though it'd be a good bottom up way for a new browser to disrupt Chrome
