Just bought my first Pi a Pi3 principally to run a Docker/WebServer, it
seems pretty good for this so far.

However as is the way with these things I was curious as to if it could
be used for a HTPC. Raspbian/Pixel seemed ok as an OS. Chromium web
browsing was a bit slow but not too bad. Video performance was poor (I
think I used vlc) and iPlayer was also poor, unusable full screen on my TV.

So I tried Libreelec. Video performance was fine, Streamed HD TV, H264,
Youtube all good. It even played some of my smaller HEVC (H265) files
without problems (bigger ones stuttered.) However Libreelec didn't have
a proper browser and the Youtube interface was terrible (even if the
stuff played ok).

So the question: is possible to get a set up which combines the good
browser of Raspbian Pixel with the video performance of Libreelec.

Pixel with vlc would be ideal if it can be configured correctly.
