Could you build this?

No A standalone browser built on Chromium needs the Chromium engine, which is huge and expensive to build, patch, and update for security. Native Mac UI, sync, and encryption add more specialized work.

What it would actually take: A real version starts from a Chromium fork or embedding of WebKit/Chromium Content API, then adds a native macOS shell for tabs, Spaces, and split view. It needs an end-to-end encrypted sync backend with key management and a regular security-patch cadence. Browser engineers and a security team are required, and the codebase is very large.
