Could you build this?
No This is a native feature in Google Chrome, one of the world's most complex C++ codebases (Chromium), requiring low-level browser engine modifications across rendering, window management, and native OS accessibility layers.
What it would actually take: Requires deep C++ expertise within the Chromium codebase, modifying the Views UI framework, tab strip model, and layout managers across Windows, macOS, and Linux. It entails complex threading, memory management, and compositor integration (Blink/cc) to render vertical tab trees and responsive reading view overlays without degrading browser performance.
