Could you build this?

No Creating a jailbreak tweak that polyfills modern web APIs, rewrites CSS in real time, and patches WebKit/JavaScriptCore internals on legacy iOS requires deep low-level operating system and browser engine expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires developing an iOS tweak in Objective-C/C using tweak frameworks like Theos/Logos to hook Safari and WebKit processes directly (via MobileSubstrate/ElleKit). Developers must implement custom WebKit injection scripts, a runtime CSS parsing/transpilation engine (like LightningCSS or PostCSS ported to JS runtime injection), and low-level polyfills for unsupported ECMAScript and DOM specs without crashing outdated WebKit builds. Requires specialized knowledge of iOS internals, jailbreak environments (rootless/roothide), and WebKit architecture.
