Everything is possible given enough time and money.

But todays browsers are huge code wise.

It may very well be a bigger effort to get Chromium/FireFox
running *well* on VMS that to port VMS to x86-64.

I will cost a fortune.

And having a browser available on VMS will not generate
much revenue.

There is no business case.
