Every few days, a new shinny CSS, JS or HTML feature comes up. And this new feature only works on a browser (Chrome in most cases). So we have a broken ecosystem with browsers implementing always their new things while bugs or incomplete implementations of existing specs are forgotten.

I'd like a 2-year truce (or more) in this nonsense and browsers only work on implementing the existing specs, fix bugs and improve performance. I'd like browsers were focused on doing better, instead of doing more.

Apple, Bocoup, Google, Igalia, Microsoft, and Mozilla participate in the Interop project, and have been for 4 years in a row now. Interop is, I think, the current best answer to what you are requesting. It's a large amount of browser vendor investment, triggered by web developers' needs, which is used each year to fix interoperability bugs and improve the implementation quality of existing features (not implement new features).
