Interested in creating your own anonymous browser. I know that this is not a search for developers, so I'll just ask what is the approximate amount of this project and the timing of creation? I understand that it all depends on people, budget and other things, so please just name the numbers that you can only focus on)
Main features:
The device fingerprints need to be replaced. I emphasize that it is “substitution”, not a ban on reading, it is important to replace key components;
Ability to create profiles with data saving. Cookies, fingerprint, proxy used, cache, etc.;
Portability. Possibility to import all these settings/profiles.

An example of such a browser is LinkenSphere. The implementation of this product is also based on Chromium.

Millions of dollars and hundreds of man-years.

Absolutely everything said can be done by modern engines, only your abstract 'fingerprint substitution' is in question. For example gpu is very difficult to replace.
Writing your own browser is stupid, take the source of an existing engine - webkit (chromium) or gecko (firefox), and replace the responses and behavior as you need.
By the way, it is quite possible that doing this once will not cost you too much, maybe even a few thousand bucks will be enough (if I understand the task correctly), but doing this for each update is already a question for much more money.

You are solving the problem from the wrong end. A native browser without a team to keep it up to date is a dead project. Especially since you don't need it.
You need an environment in which you can run your browser and get all that fake fingerprint data from. A completely virtual system or a layer between the browser and the system. It can only be done once.

The cost is zero, the creation time is infinity.
Why?
Because no one needs it, since it has not been implemented so far. Well, or implemented, but not for everyone. Even if you can create it - the web does not stand still and if it is not updated - after a while it will simply stop opening some sites.
