Thoughts on a custom browser solution for local research

I am researching various archiving tools for a use case of local researching and archiving. It should be easy to install and use by students so trying to find the best tool out there.

First question is whether you think this might end up working for such an use case.

The more I get into this the more I feel like the browser itself is the one who should be in full control of the archiving process. As far as the browser can browse a site, it should be able to archive it (and even reply it) properly. I wonder if you have ever considered this, know of someone who would and the general thought of this approach.

I am namely speaking of grabbing chromium or mozilla open source project and patching/working on top of it.

This is just an attempt to gather some thoughts and opinions from people much involved on archiving than currently myself is, so anything is appreciated.

Thanks.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. The issue is seeking opinions about a browser-based archiving approach rather than defining an implementation; there is no stated change or completion criterion to verify.
