Anyway to get this to run in node with the output going to say Cairo? It'd be a fun little project to see if you could build a simple but working browser in nothing but JS.

And then, getting the browser running itself in the in-browser browser.

Now THAT would be a sandboxed browser.

Also, even though people tend to not like this kind of thing here, it has to be said: Yo dawg...

Reminds me of Gary Bernhardt's talk "The Birth and Death of JavaScript": https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death...

Would you count links/lynx running under Linux in an OpenRISC emulator with networking provided by a relay server over WebSockets?

Yes, there's a software rendering version, it actually uses Cairo. Software rendering just bitblts up (out of a webworker or as a SDL_UpdateRect) callback in javascript as a RGBA array.
