Yes, I've seen this repository before.

But the "hard barrier" for those wrappers is Windows XP, as it makes use of keyed events and other low-level functions introduced there.

I decided to go a step further with my own wrapper (which is pending testing with applications simpler than Chromium such as ffmpeg + Winetests); all the functions are designed to work with NT 3.51 and up*. I think this is a worthy goal as we now have Qt 6 ported to OS/2 not to mention the almost daily news of something new coming out for Consumer Windows 3.10.

*Chromium was always made with a minimum of Windows XP in mind, and no one sufficiently modified 3.51 or 4.0 to run it yet. It might be almost like a death march, but I suspect it won't be too bad once every hard dependency on DirectWrite/Direct2D is removed - that stunted the last attempt to port a modern FOSS Chromium (7x) to XP.

OK, thanks.
