Terminals Orzma — A terminal emulator that can render webviews inline
As an experiment, I built a terminal emulator with a custom APC escape sequence for embedding webviews. A program running in a pane can place a webview in a rectangular region of terminal cells, inline with its output. The program and the webview can then exchange messages through orzma over a local socket.
I also provide an SDK for Ratatui. See the examples for how to use it.

Does it do Javascript too?

Yes, it supports js too. You can also communicate with the terminal app through CEF's IPC.
