The xwidget_mvp branch has been merged into the emacs master branch about a month ago.
It allows you to embed GTK widgets INSIDE an emacs buffer, effectively allowing one to create actual GUIs inside of emacs.
This also allows you to embed a full webkit-based browser (with javascript support!) right into emacs, and use it like a regular browser.
Just clone the emacs repo, build it with gtk3 and xwidget support, and run 'M-x xwidget-webkit-browse-url' to get a full-fledged browser with proper rendering right inside emacs.

Browsing through an environment that's integrated nicely, deeply configurable, and completely programmable. What else would you want as a programmer and an pc user?
