Add framebuffer browser support? Ie Netsurf

Hopefully this post doesn't cause the dedicated media centre vs general purpose OS debate to fire up... But here goes...
Would it be possible (although not trivial I imagine) to add a framebuffer browser to LE. The thought being you could halt kodi and jump to a basic browser like netsurf-fb then come back to kodi?

It's something we already do in Generic/x86_64 with Chromium. The main use-case we've seen is access to services like Netflix or Amazon which also need flash or widevine support. It's probably not too hard to create/package netsurf as an add-on, but would it support those services?
