I mean, yeah, emacs doesn't have a modern browser engine in it. I wouldn't recommend it for that use case and of course you'll have to "shell out" to a modern browser engine to handle that. Now, if emacs could somehow provide an X render target and let the browser process bind to it as the window, that would be kind of awesome and I could totally see kicking my window manager overboard and just switching to emacs. But the web just "looks wrong" text-only these days.
Apart from that, great experiment and fun idea.
- jaccarmac 3y agoI'm not familiar with X internals and am not sure if it's the same thing, but EXWM basically allows that (browsers run in buffers).
- svlasov 3y agoYes, that's possible. You can set any X11 window as a child of another X11 window, the parent window will be responsible to manage (taking care of window geometry and what not) child windows.
