Cool. My first thought was that this should be an extension, rather than a separate browser. Of course that's covered in TFA, modern extensions are just not allowed to have the necessary access.

I get the "oh no security" arguments about letting random shit from Chrome Web Store have free reign over the browser, but what if I trust the extension publisher and am willing to assume responsibility for my own actions, data, and computer?

Your actions may be your own, but there is no modern ToS that implies your data or your computer are yours.
FOSS licenses imply that quite strongly, and quite a lot of software is under FOSS licenses
