Embedded Browser

Has anyone attempted or know of someone who has successfully embedded a web browser into the TGE? I read a .plan from Josh Ritter who mentioned embedding Firefox (Mozilla), as it is obviously cross platform, he mentioned making use of other cross platform utilities such as wxWidgets and wxMozilla.

Specifically, I want to be able to browse the internet while playing a game. For those that need to keep an eye on their stocks, they can have their web based stock ticker scrolling across the screen as they frag all the orcs in the village and never miss a beat. Waiting for the important email (like a receipt from paypal showing you just got paid) pull up your webmail in the game. Wouldn't this be a great feature!
