I don't understand. Can you elaborate? Have there been previous plan like this by old Opera?

Dragonfly[0], Presto's old dev tools, was essentially a web app (and, IIRC, although cached was loaded as if any other web app), though it had access to some APIs normal websites did not, to be able to communicate with the browser through the Scope protocol[1].

Safari/Webkit DevTools (a fork also in Chome) is a web app as well and older.
