Electron doesn't have ARM CPU support for now, which is required for Pion to work.

Well, Electron is Chromium-based, so I guess so.

Electron seems to work fine for me. Plus, it actually has good support and documentation. You can also package Electron apps as executables for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

You can also with nw.js

It would be simple to have a basic JavaScript injecting extension system, but you'll probably want to take it a bit further.
(because Node.js you could have a zipped folder with a JSON manifest and stuff)

Also how about themes which get injected into the browser view?
(also can you make it a bit easier to hack by allowing opening devtools on the browser?)

I'm pretty sure it just piggybacks off Electron, which does all the work GETting and displaying web pages. BookOwl made the user interface and stuff.
