I like the idea -- I haven't built it myself, but I have used it. Recently I've been looking at the Iridium https://iridiumbrowser.de/ alternative, a secure browser built on Chromium but with all the Google "call home" stuff removed. The source code, as well as the binaries, is available on the website; maybe it's a better alternative.
