Like Blender?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blender-1/ /
https://github.com/meh/blender
Although it seems that is released under the WTFPL aka no license so
maybe someone should fork it under a better license, and of course this
also only exists for Firefox. I don't know if similar addons exist for
other browsers.
Cheers
