Could you build this?
No A real hardened browser build means forking and maintaining Chromium with its custom build toolchain and security patching cadence. That requires large build infrastructure and specialized browser-engineering expertise that vibe coding cannot supply.
What it would actually take: Building a real version means forking Chromium (or using Brave's source) and compiling it on large CI build farms with a few hundred GB of build artifacts. It also requires ongoing security patch tracking, a custom ad-block engine (such as a filter-list parser), and Windows installer and auto-update signing. A team with browser or Chromium build experience is needed; a repackaged wrapper around an existing browser is much easier but is not the same product.
