I actually like the latest AdiumX system. They just have their own  
URL type. You browse their extensions site until you find one you  
want and click on it. That launches AdiumX to handle the link, which  
sucks down the bundle, extracts it to the right place, and  
instantiates any plugins, etc.

Might be a little nicer for some cases to have an in-game browser,  
but then e.g. on OSX you might want to use WebKit, and IE on Win32,  
and so on...

Having a remote manual browser would be nice though, for a simplistic  
all-platforms solution.
