    Most of this bloated is caused by actual websites, not browsers

      The features are the bloat.

      Websites couldn’t use 1,000x the cycles the content warrants for the sole purpose of spying on users if browsers didn’t let them run arbitrary code.

          Minimal is far, far better than jam packed with ads and fucking spyware. You can do plenty with html tagged text, images/video, and some CSS for layout.

          The whole reason adblockers are necessary is because half the web thinks having popup videos pop up over popup videos is acceptable behavior. It’s all because browsers do far more than they need to.
