If you are up to a Smalltalk internet browser then check the old
Scamper from Squeak and H. Hirzels post + screenshot on squeak-dev from this month:

If you want a simple morphic based internet browser I guess this could
be ported to Pharo.

There was also "WithStyle" in VisualWorks Smalltalk, an XML based
UI browser built back in the days by an (australian?) company. I guess
it is still included in the commercial VisualWorks distribution.
Dont know about the license http://forum.world.st/VW-7-5-and-WithStyle-td1408557.html

Building a webbrowser in Smalltalk would be cool - but lots of work
(HTML + CSS parsing, JavaScript layer, drawing, ...) that would require time.

Thx
