With the current direction, I believe it would work as a browser extension.

At first I tried to send the whole dom from one user to another, so users would see the exact same thing (no personalization like some sites do) -- and that didn't work out. It was easy to stream the html from one user to another via webrtc but the styles and javascript seemed non trivial.

So I landed at this more simple version. I haven't experimented much with browser extensions but for that approach, I would just create the peer connection between users in the extension. And simulate a click whenever a leader changes urls. (that may actually be better than this current Chromium browser version)
