On the subject of web browsers, I wonder if Plan 9 aficionados would appreciate edbrowse [1]. As the name suggests, it's a combination ed-like editor and web browser. It includes the duktape JavaScript engine. The project even distributes a statically linked binary for Linux using musl.

In theory, that could even be ported to some versions of Plan 9. I remember that the Jehanne OS dev had said something along the lines of "Netsurf (another Duktape browser) could be ported soon".
