The browser is a platform lockin. One with shitty search and spam on most pages and javascript.
Maybe we need a new type browser that doesn't try to be an app platform but rather tries to be a document browser.

I think what you actually want is a web without JavaScript. One where you can only find documents and not accidentally run into apps.
Some promotion and branding and badges for how to build a site that contains no scripts at all.
I don't see the need for a new protocol and new clients. Just a plain ol' JS-free Web.
And, equally, something similar for the back end. No scripting languages, no PHP and no JS and nothing akin to them. Just native code, compiled from safe languages with bounds-checking.
No CMS, just dump text or markdown in a folder and presto you have a website.
It doesn't sound impossible. So let's think about how.
