Isn't this exactly what Qt WebEngine does?

Features are listed here:

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6.2/qtwebengine-features.html

There is an API and python bindings. Falkon and qutebrowser (possibly others) use it for their browser engine. It uses Chromium code underneath.

You can run windows 95 on a browser and then a browser on that windows, and then run chromium wasmified so yeah we can go pretty deep
