Russ Cox is an absolute legend for committing to this joke.

Someone needs to convince Russ that it would be hilarious to have a full featured web browser in Plan 9.

Doesn’t plan9 support frame buffers over 9p or something like that? You could probably write a wrapper that just forwards a Linux browser to a plan9 window

Many years ago a roommate and I had an HPUX machine running IE on HPUX just so we could forward X session to our FreeBSD and Linux desktops and not have to use our Windows machine for anything other than PC games.
