No. Enabling Emacs-like keybindings in Chrome requires expertise about Chrome and not at all about Emacs. It's the same expertise that would be required for enabling Wordstar-like keybindings or vi-like keybindings. This is off-topic here.

Emacs-like keybindings are not what makes Emacs Emacs. If you're using Viper, you're still using Emacs. What makes Emacs what it is is primarily its extensibility through Emacs Lisp, both in the ability to solve a problem by writing code and in the availability of a wide range of packages that do things beyond basic editing capabilities.

This, by the way, also means that editors with Emacs-like keybindings like Jmacs, Jove and Microemacs are off-topic. Having Emacs-like keybindings does not make an editor Emacs.

Case in point: this questionthis question — asking about Emacs-like keybindings in a tool for which no Emacs solution works, and the solution for that tool doesn't work in Emacs. This question is entirely unrelated to Emacs expertise, it doesn't belong here.
