Browsers will respond by allowing sites to version themselves to aggressively cache client code. Eventually browsers will start offering site-specific-browser features to 'new-modern' sites to combat the extreme waste of Electron and the like.
Someone with political capital and influence in the developer world will realize that the web is still mostly text and design a browser optimized for that use case. It will be hailed as a revolution and people will start preferring it over the 'old-web' for accessing static content like news.
Then under pressure from developers pushing the limits of static content they will include a simple, limited scripting language that promises to facilitate basic interactive elements and start the cycle anew.
We should call it something trendy, maybe 'The River'?
