Have you looked at Broadway, either the Netscape plugin from 12 or so years ago, or the recent GTK+/GDK porting work to move onto canvas? Alexander Larsson, the author of the recent Broadway project, feels that Wayland is more appropriate, and is currently working on making Broadway be a browser-based Wayland compositor.
That might be more appropriate than an X server that uses the browser, but there's always the NPAPI plugin if you need legacy cruft around!
