Spacemacs could run inside a browser. They had a try online button on their home page. So, I believe that it can run in a browser. – Compro Prasad Jul 16 '18 at 03:11

reading official webassembly docs, it says "Editors such as vim and emacs should just work...." – american-ninja-warrior Jul 16 '18 at 16:54

Apparently, yes.
It was talked about a couple of year ago:
http://endlessparentheses.com/emacs-is-available-on-chromebook-and-chrome.html https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/311kpk/emacs_runs_natively_on_chrome/
I tried it briefly then, but it was not clear how to configure it, so it was more of a curiosity. There does not seem to be any recent developments. I, too, would be interested in seeing how to run and configure emacs 26.1 in a current Chrome.

Yes. The Chrome app NaCL Development Enviroment includes Emacs. In addition, the changes were upstreamed into Emacs' configure.ac to add NaCL as a regular port.
