If you made a browser run lisp, it would only be useful for web pages that are scripted with lisp. Most web sites are currently scripted in JavaScript. Adding lisp support to a browser is the easy part. It's like deciding Latin is a better language then English, and then learning it. If you then came here and started using only Latin, it probably wouldn't be very satisfying.
