I had this exact idea and I've described it to colleagues before. Fun to see parallel evolution. It feels like a simple concept that should already exist, so I'm surprised it's not more commonly attempted. But you're missing a few of the features that I came up with that build on the initial idea. I haven't gotten around to implementing it yet, but it's on my todo list for this year/next year.

I was planning to build it with ultralig.ht, but I'm not 100% sure if it's ready for it. But since most of the content I'm interested in for research is textual/reader mode, and the rest can be viewed with yt-dlp, I think it can render them and it seems the lightest weight. Otherwise it's webkit or servo that I could think of for this.

Good to know there's interest in this.
