What are some simplifications which can help make building your own browser achievable?
The biggest one I find: Don't bother with JS!
Some may argue that this disqualifies calling your work a browser engine, but JS support is a major step up in effort for an even larger step up in expectations.
The issue isn't so much JS as it is that central API "the DOM" designed in the midst of hype wrongly calling OOP universal. It epitomizes OO complaints!
