I've wanted to make my own browser by forking chromium. But then I got confronted with the reality of hacking on a Google scale c++ project.

I've tried doing it by embedding webkit which is much more doable but I've found that many sites I use don't work my embedded webkit.

So now I think if I want to make my own browser it would be better start making my own versions of those sites first and make sure those are good and popular. At which point I'll just make native clients for them and forget about html/js/css.
