Maintaining out-of-tree patches for a project as large and quickly-changing as Chromium will be a lot of work. I know someone who worked on Amazon's Silk browser team and they had an engineer (rotation) working working full-time to kee

The most practical approach would probably be writing a new SS13 engine in Unity or Godot to interpret SS13’s existing BYOND scriptures and asserts and also leverage Unity’s or Godot’s tools and game engine.
