If I understand the proposal correctly, something similar was tried in project Lively Kernel (https://www.lively-kernel.org/), which is dead since long and was marginally relevant perhaps only in the academic field and not at all in the real world. Personally, I think there are better ways to spend the scarce but otherwise good human resources involved in the Smalltalk world: but anyway, good luck.

Thanks everyone for digging out the various possibilities. It is heartening to know the community is healthy and engaging.
Let me summarize the possibilities: 1) Recompile Smalltalk VM from C to WebAssembly to run inside a browser at near native speed. This means a complete Smalltalk IDE inside a browser with full access to the browser innards. 2) Embed Chromium or ChromeHeadless or WebKit inside the Smalltalk IDE. Browser access is through the exposed APIs. 3) Enhance Scamper, a basic browser written in Smalltalk, to include more and more of the capabilities of Chrome say.
All the best, Aik-Siong Koh
