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.

It's not WebAssembly but Squeak running in a browser is already old news, thanks to Bert Freudenberg - see http://try.squeak.org/#url=http://files.squeak.org/5.0/&zip=[Squeak5.0-15113.zip,SqueakV50.sources.zip] and��https://squeak.js.org/. I don't know about interop between that image running in the browser, and the browser itself.

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
