Could you build this?
Partial Wrapping an existing WebKit or Chromium WebView inside a lightweight browser shell is easily vibe-codeable, but building an actual independent browser engine from scratch would not be.
What it would actually take: If building a standard minimalist browser shell, a developer uses Electron/Tauri or native Android/iOS WebView components with tabs, history, and bookmark management. If attempting an actual lightweight rendering engine, it requires low-level C++/Rust rendering pipelines, layout trees, and JS runtimes (like Ultralight or Lexbor), which demands deep browser internals expertise.
