I know about Scamper, but it is dead.

I've been thinking about SmallTalk web browser 4 years ago, more in-depth here: https://www.reddit.com/r/smalltalk/comments/jnigzb/native_we...

Since then, a lot have changed. One dedicated SmallTalker with LLM-infused Squeak might do wonders.

Coincidentally, some weeks ago, I made it somewhat loadable to Pharo 13. But its practical value is, of course, questionable.

What was your motivation to do this?

I made the conversion of the Squeak verison to Pharo many years ago and I just tried to make it work in the latest version (which was not straightforward becasue Pharo deprecated and removed some Morphic parts it used). So, mostly the curiosity if it can still work and, if yes, how well/poorly.
