Personal opinion:

There is an entire economy and ecosystem based on rewarding sinister web design. The complexity and resources involved in keeping pace with contemporary garbage while qualifying simply as a functional browser is too vast. So much that I suspect it's all downhill from here. I don't believe we'll ever see an all around user-friendly, privacy respecting, well designed, functional browser. I'd delight in being wrong here, but sincerely doubt it.

Yeah, HTML standards have basically evolved into a kind of regulatory capture that protects Google's browser. Even Microsoft found them too difficult to implement and meet user expectations.

At least if we rely on market incentives. I suppose we might see one if it's regulated into existence (e.g. European regulators forcing Google, Microsoft, etc. to provide browsers that respect privacy and provide functional extension capability for ad blockers and the like).
