Could you build this?
No Forking, maintaining, and stripping telemetry/components from Chromium requires deep C++ systems expertise and immense build infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A real fork of Chromium requires maintaining multi-million line C++ codebases with GN and Ninja build systems, pulling upstream security patches continually, and building across platforms. The team needs specialized browser engine architecture expertise and dedicated multi-core CI/CD infrastructure capable of 40+ hour compile cycles.
