Maybe the truth is that people really don't feel the need for a wider variety of browsers to be available. I mean both Chromium and Firefox are fully open source; there's nothing stopping anyone from forking them and making tweaks. If Chrome decided to ban ad blockers or something overnight, people can just create a Chromium fork with 99% feature parity which will then gain a ton of attention and support by the flood of users switching over to it. That's the beauty of open source, no? People already created ungoogled-chromium which removes some of the built-in integrations with Google APIs for search suggestions and and such if you care about that.

I previously tried to fork Servo, Chromium, Electron, nidium, nw.js... and even tried out Sciter. But honestly, you can forget about all of them, chromium-based Browsers are close to impossible to fork due to google's repo tools which clone/update/auto-merge from conditionally defined source repos. All Browsers basically just use libchromium directly, maintain a patchset and are done with it, including Brave. Forking WebKit was quite easy compared to that, as building immediately worked. The /ThirdParty folder is a little mess and cmake build files for dependencies need to be rewritten someday, though.
