I would add that it won't work in Chrome on Linux until it supports
the XEmbed protocol:
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XEmbed_Extension_for_Mozilla_Plugins

The XEmbed part is easy.  The harder part is rewriting the Xt-based
event handling code.  (You do get basic functionality if you just
comment out the Xt stuff and tell the browser you want XEmbed.)
