I find this an odd comment. Is a 100% Rust browser something anyone is clamoring for?

At any rate, if that really is your goal for some reason, rendering engine is going to be your first problem anyway. Then a JS runtime.

A 100% memory-safe browser is definitely something I'm clamouring for.

Mozilla is working on the rendering engine. Memory-safe JS runtimes already exist (e.g. Nashorn).
