> Like, a browser that only runs wasm

That's not a browser.

More or less by definition, a browser is an application that can use HTTP (and potentially other protocols) to make requests to other systems and retrieve stuff described using HTML (and possibly other formats).

Sure, a tool that just loads wasm and executes it would be fun (and probably exists, at least for the local case). But it's not a web browser.

As opposed to current browsers that run wasm and JS I mean

Yes there would be a DOM in addition
