Well, someone attempting that will have a long row to hoe to get the thing working with the needs of networks with different performance standards, useragents with different screen structures, and users with different accessibility requirements.

Browsers are large and complicated software packages for a reason. Best of luck to whoever tries to compete with it in a browser in a browser.

The inner browser doesn't need to be a general purpose browser. It just needs to render the site-owner's content, run their scripts, etc. Once there's an API for WASM to manipulate the DOM accessibility becomes easier.
