Partial The Chrome extension shell, per-site settings, and comparison UI are vibe-codeable, and the upscaling models (Anime4K, FSRCNNX) are open source. Making them run smoothly in real time on arbitrary video through in-browser GPU processing is a specialised graphics-programming problem.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a Manifest V3 extension using WebGL or WebGPU shaders, with Anime4K GLSL and FSRCNNX ported or run through an inference runtime. The hard part is making frame-by-frame upscaling fast enough on varied hardware without dropping frames, and handling cross-origin video and DRM constraints. That needs GPU and shader performance expertise and substantial testing across devices.
