There is nothing Plan 9 about this. When a piece of code gets so large

As others have pointed out that's pretty hard to define, but in
the current web world, you can cover a surprisingly large fraction
of sites if you have good JavaScript and CSS support. Running

There's one other possibility that I've thought about. Inferno's
browser charon is more capable than it might appear. It has
some degree of JavaScript support. The main thing I've noticed
when trying to use it for some day-to-day browsing is that
it lacks CSS and could use some work on

Agreed, I did try to make an attempt at a modicum of a definition to
work from, but it
I suspect netsurf might actually be better to work from than charon,
if only because netsurf is already written c rather than limbo, and
has already been ported to many platforms.
unless i've completely misunderstood, brian is suggesting to run charon
in plan 9-hosted inferno.

I'll risk venturing an opinion on that approach:
Running a plan 9 hosted inferno is essentially another take on the vnc or
linuxemu workarounds. It won't provide the same freedoms and benefits
of a native library/engine/framework.
what freedoms are those?

The freedom _from_ an extra, extraneous, alien environment. [1]
but it's a web browser. it's already an alien environment. :-)
The freedom _for_ building a variety of native front-ends.
The freedom _for_ integrating with existing native libraries.
what's the advantage here? i don't

Just wondering if you have looked at webfs.

Just to add some more confusion to the mix, there was a port of an early charon
release from limbo to c, called 'i' - the single letter.
This worked to the point of working like a buggy abaco (perhaps I am unfair but
that is what it feels like), Its on sources (in contrib/extra I think).
