Could you build this?
Partial A custom browser shell with sidebar tabs and split view is feasible on WebView2, but full Chrome extension compatibility and browser-grade security require Chromium-level engineering.
What it would actually take: A realistic version either wraps WebView2 on Windows with a custom tab and sidebar UI or forks Chromium, which needs C++ and browser-internals expertise. Extension support and security updates are the hard, ongoing parts. Maintaining it as a browser demands a team with browser engine experience.
