Man, this thing was small and fast
I used the last version of Uzbl in an old Debian container to debug a game I made specifically supporting the iPad 2, which is quite resource constrained, because Uzbl was based on a similar version of WebKit. WebKit somehow had to fit the iPad 2 and still be quite fast, so Uzbl, which is very bare-bones, felt very fast indeed on a decent computer.
I was looking at similar browsers, apparently epiphany (Gnome Web) is the only remaining open source browser based on WebkitGTK+ that's still maintained. Last version of Surf was released in 2021, Midori is actually a Gecko browser which I need to check out [1]. I guess someone could contribute and update Surf or Uzbl or fork the old Midori.
By looking into it, I found this browser:
qutebrowser is a keyboard-focused browser with a minimal GUI. It’s based on Python and Qt and free software, licensed under the GPL. It was inspired by other browsers/addons like dwb and Vimperator/Pentadactyl. https://qutebrowser.org/
It is fast!

I didn't downvote, however I initially found your message a bit off-topic. The article is about a brand new browser engine, for fun, in js, and you are saying that you wish the dev worked on this abandoned browser UI. These things are actually quite far, in the intent, motives and technically.
