Do you recall which browser?

BrowseX, written mostly in Tcl/Tk, was included in one microdistro. Probably LNX-BBC, per Wikipedia.

And a Javascript capable HTML4 browser, and a decent-looking and performant GUI desktop too.

It's a shame QNX (desktop) died, used to be way more performant and stable compared to Linux or anything else back in the day.

The problem is it wasn't really compatible with anything else, at a time when DOS/Windows and Unix-likes were the most common.
