Could you build this?
No A real browser is a massive systems project. The core is a Chromium fork, and vibe coding can't supply the build infrastructure, security patching cadence, or browser-engine expertise needed to ship and maintain one.
What it would actually take: Fork Chromium and build a custom shell with its own UI, speed dial, and gesture/command layers, probably via WebUI and browser-side extensions. The hard parts are building Chromium across Linux, Windows, and macOS (tens of GB of source, heavy compute), tracking upstream releases, and shipping timely security updates. That requires experienced browser or C++ build engineers and sustained infrastructure.
