   To webdevs: I'm not saying "don't use JS"!

   I'm saying "Avoid relying on it, use it responsibly!" & "Hopefully in the future you won't need it!".

   Heck, you might need it less in the present than you might think you do.

   1.5/1.5!

     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!
