No. It's impossible in Forth. You need ADA for this.

Why is it impossible in Forth?

I bet chuck moore could make a web browser in forth if he felt like it.

I can even do this though experiment:
cheat
have browser render html pages, but hand off movie playing to smplayer, 

supporting ssl kinda is over my head.....but fuck javascript.

intereactive websites shouold not need javascript

html alone can amke forms and post form data for the server side app to generate dynamic responses from

javascript is a step backward, only allowing ads to be pusheed to (l)user without waiting for click....

8th comes with a GUI widget that can display html/images though the underlying functionality comes from the C++ JUCE library.  But there's enough there to make a decent custom browser out of it.
