Would you consider using some libraries in your project? There are lots of good ones in the Rust ecosystem, and many of them are not part of any existing browsers.
For example:
- https://github.com/servo/html5ever (HTML parsing - note: this is used in Servo)
- https://github.com/parcel-bundler/lightningcss (CSS parsing)
- https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy (web layout)
- https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text (text layout and rendering)
Obviously you should be free to work on whatever you like, but just as a benchmark on the scope of your project: I spent ~6 months implementing just the CSS Grid algorithm in Taffy last year. An entire browser from literal scratch is probably a 10 year project for one person.
