I wonder what a web browser would look like if it evolved inside emacs.

  There were and still are approaches to web browsing in Emacs. But like every other completely mainstream web browser, keeping up with the evolving web, and especially its client-side programmability and performance needs, made its usefulness rather marginal. In the end it’s often less trouble to switch over to the browser window that’s already open anyway and copy and paste data between it and emacs.

    Missed a word there: "But like every not completely mainstream web browser..."

    That's exactly the reason why I use Stumpwm as a wrapper for Emacs and multiple chrome windows.
