Partial A browser shell with sidebar and spaces UI is vibe-codeable on top of WebKit, but a real browser engine is far beyond what vibe coding can produce.
What it would actually take: A realistic version wraps WKWebView in a Swift/AppKit app and builds the Arc-style UI, tabs, spaces, and profile management on top. The hard parts are security, extension support, sync, and staying current with WebKit updates. Serious macOS and browser-security expertise is needed beyond that.
