Article subject says 'browser' but I'm thinking web-based IDE, such as VSCode.

Bootstrapping just enough operating system to get your work done, within the same web sandbox as the parent process.

It could be lighter-weight alternative for certain simple tasks than hyper-virtualization, containers and all that jazz...
