If playing a longer game, LadyBird has some potential here. Not only as a browser in itself, but their development team has evaluated programming languages and have decided they liked Swift the best. if GNUstep could get Swift integration to a usable state, it might be an opportunity to convince them to use GNUstep instead of Qt for the UI tools. Of course this is no easy task but the long term reward is a GNUstep based browser with a dedicated team working on a browser for you
