I've always thought of developing a Hacker's browser. One where there are no restrictions of what it can do. For example, you can't write a chrome extension to spoof the Referrer header on requests. The Chrome browser is more locked down than you think.
"Nyxt is web engine agnostic. We utilize a minimal API to interface to any web engine. This makes us flexible and resilient to changes in the web landscape. Currently, we support WebKit and WebEngine (experimental (Blink))."
tl;dr; no. It's just another browser UI, albeit a very different one.
Hmm, not sure it's for me (a bit too much hacker) but I'd definitely like a highly customizable, module based browser with a pure shell by default. Something like Visual Studio Code but with less cruft from the get go. I've never thought about it until I saw this! Now I'm really irked about there not being a solid, mature browser based on extensibility. Where the base is basically an address bar and history awareness…

I am 100% down for building this, open source, if I had a team to help me see it through as it's just too much for one person.
Do you have any dev experience / interest in helping create such a thing?

I'm building something similar: WebDriver protocol not WebView tag, more extensible, written in JavaScript, web tech. Get in touch (cris@dosyago.com) if you want to contribute! or check out the project: https://github.com/dosyago/BrowserBoxPro / https://github.com/dosyago/BrowserBOx
Curious about your roadmap with dosyago and BrowserBox, where our goals converge and diverge and how we can help each other. Feel free to reach out via email, it's in my bio.

I commented here [0] and am extremely interested in discussing BrowserBox with you. This is something I've brought up over and over, I'm an experienced web dev and generalist but simply couldn't tackle on my own.
