This was a particularly ambitious experiment for me. I worked with the Chromium source code, got it onto my laptop and set up the build environment. After that I explored branding, UI and UX, and some code and configuration changes.
It took about 15 days just to get Chromium onto the laptop and working as a build environment. The whole experiment lasted about a month and used more than 300 GB of data.
There were real challenges and some problems I never resolved. I stopped after about a month. It was never launched as a finished browser.
