I did this myself today. distcc on my vps - compiled chromium - transferred 10 gig of lzo's .c and header files to my PC it sent back the c object files to the build host. Yay I had my own browser build with all the multimedia crap stripped out of chrome, no pepper flash etc.
Cooked my my own browser in gentoo - a source based linux distro most ppl who know their stuff have been using since 2003. For those who can't DIY (it's not that hard) there is another way torproject.org - browser bundle.
I mean who would want a virtualbox image of a web browser - especially something that one person cooked up. If you want a secure browser use the tor browser bundle - it's got more peer review - use it without tor with I2P instead i you want just change the networking settings (SOCKS proxy port) for more speed - as it's been tweaked to disable all the stuff that modern web browsers have to rape you online.. Let's see websockets for video conferencing NAT detection - report you real IP address back to the webserver to, flash etc. Using lynx or some ancient web browser would be better than using any modern browser with an anonimizer service.
Using anything else like what you suggested isn't a wise move.
