Elbrus are VLIW/EPIC, based on home-grown architecture.

The SPARC-based one is the old MCST R1000.

who would be willing to fab it

Before the conflict, they used TSMC. Now, AFAIK, the only fab available is Mikron, located in Zelenograd near Moscow. And only 90nm process. There were some rumors about switching to SMIC, but I have not heard any updates for quite some time.

It IS possible to build one from scratch, but the limiting factors as always are money and time.

Otter, LibreWolf and Qutebrowser

They are all based on readily available Webkit and Firefox engines and wont ever be full-featured alternatives to Chrome, cause they dont develop their own tech.
