Could you build this?
No This is a low-level Chromium fork where the Blink rendering engine's C++ source code is patched to monitor and intercept canvas, WebGL, audio, and DOM fingerprinting APIs. Modifying, instrumenting, and compiling Chromium's C++ internals cannot be done via casual vibe coding.
What it would actually take: The architecture involves maintaining a custom Chromium downstream branch with deep C++ hooks into Blink's IDL bindings and JavaScript execution runtime (V8), funneling telemetry into an extended DevTools panel. The hard part is navigating millions of lines of Chromium C++ code, keeping up with upstream rebases, and ensuring modifications do not break browser performance or leak telltale timing/tampering artifacts. It requires senior C++ browser engine engineers.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a observability & eval tool for Media & entertainment yet.
