Don't know about the rest, but ungoogled chromium scrambles every occurrence of the string "google" in the code specifically to avoid things like this, so probably not.

It is disabled: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/blo...
If this flag is true then the extension is added: https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:chr... and https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:chr...
Scrambles to a static unpurchased domain?
No network traffic is allowed on that random TLD. It is blocked.
If you end up with characters outside of the valid range after scrambling, then probably not.

Edit, if it’s not obvious: an unclaimed domain with special permissions is a massive security hole.
