I might sound jaded, but I'd be more excited for a Chromium fork that focuses on hackability instead of a brand new browser that'll take somewhere between years to ∞ to be even remotely useful. I get why that'd be less fun to work on though.

Isn’t there already quite many Chromium forks? They all have the same issue - the more your code diverges, more additional work it will be. And security patches start lagging.
Why not directly fork WebKit, as the Orion browser did?
There are plenty of Chromium forks, you can go use those. Or just make your own.
Qutebrowser, Nyxt even better for hackability.
