Berkelium off-screen Google's Chromium web browser rendering

Berkelium is a BSD licensed library that provides off-screen browser rendering via Google's open source Chromium web browser. It takes advantage of Chromium's multiprocess rendering to isolate browsers from each other and can render to any buffer in memory. The user of the library can inject input and javascript code into web pages to control them, as well as listen for events generated by the page such as navigation events, load sequence events and paint events. Berkelium provides a small API for embedding a fully functional browser into any application.

Obtaining Berkelium
Download binary beta for leading operating systems from github.com/sirikata/berkelium/downloads.
The most recent documentation for Berkelium is located at its web site, berkelium.org. The source code can be found on GitHub at github.com/sirikata/berkelium.

sirikata.com is the open source project that originally created Berkelium. It is a platform for building shared virtual worlds. Berkelium is used to embed browsers for user interfaces, browsers controlled by single users, and shared browser virtual world objects which gather input from many users.

There's a pretty advanced in-game browser implementation being worked on already in T3D: www.torquepowered.com/community/forums/viewthread/109335

I know and I was just looking for that too (10'x Manoel Neto for pointing me to the right direction) this feature alone was the main reason for buying Torque 3D in the first place. Yet It might give you better FPS since Chromium improved Java Script performance based on the same web kit.
