Could you build this?

No Porting Chromium to LG webOS TVs requires deep browser-engine work, cross-compilation, and hardware-specific GPU and video decoder integration.

What it would actually take: This needs a Chromium source build tuned for the webOS SDK and TV SoC (MediaTek or similar), with the Ozone/GPU backend and hardware video decode pipeline wired to the vendor's media APIs. It also needs memory-constrained tuning and debugging on real hardware. This is systems-level engineering by experienced browser and embedded teams.
