Are you serious?
 
It depends what you mean by serious.  This idea came when I awoke this morning so I thought I'd share it with those who could make it happen.  I do not yet have the knowledge of Sqeak to do it myself.  (Any help appreciated.)

First, making a web browser is not an easy task, even in Squeak.
Second, what makes you think, that European court would issue any
mandate, when you show them your browser?
Aren't there plenty of other browsers already?
