It is only a matter of time until somebody gets a webbrowser running inside another with javascript as a joke.

What will be interesting is to see how long we have to wait afterwards until someone decides that it might be a useful thing to do in production.



Get a performant IE6 running inside Chrome, and I'd pay good money for that.


While it's not running INSIDE the browser per-say there is http://www.browserling.com/ that'll let you use another browser inside another browser (and use browserling inside that other browser if you need to go deeper).


Various people from Opera Software mentioned that their company had plans to do this in case of success and possible monopoly of Chrome OS.


With all due respect to the fine folks at Opera Software, I think they should have much bigger concerns than the possibility that Chrome OS will ever hold anything close to a monopoly.


I know you're kidding, but I'd love to play with a sandboxed browser-in-a-browser.


And to run doppio.js in that, for a sandbox-in-a-sandbox, ... ad infinitum?



It is only a matter of time until somebody gets a webbrowser running inside another with javascript as a joke.

And just a bit longer until someone has it running inside Minecraft



Ample SDK does that, kinda-sorta -- http://www.amplesdk.com/about/compatibility/
