Using 'Ctrl/+ and Ctrl/-' you can zoom in and out of a browsers page. I do this with Google.com and a few other pages and the browser remembers that zoom level so it will always open that page at that zoom level.
I would love to see Chrome embedded. I use a Boxee remote so there are some limitations but in all the only thing missing is a web browser.
Oh, and if not already in the forum.. for those that want Youtube, a great UI is youtube.com/leanback. This page is built for Google TV so it is very arrow friendly..

Yo!
Nice to see this kind of discussion!
I've made (there's one or two years) an addon to manage bookmarks and launch them in a browser. The browser and options could be choose by the user, directly in xbmc. The bookmarks could be synchro with google bookmarks.
I can put it in the official repository, if it interests someone.
Since i've made it, i don't really use it. It's difficult to browse a webpage and come back in xbmc (impossible with a remote?!)
It could be perfect if a browser could be link with xbmc (history, bookmarks, and render of course).
I will follow this thread.
Cheers

I agree that browser integration is sorely missing in XBMC currently. Some API to perform clicks from plugins and you could control all these evil DRM'D streaming sites and put them into fullscreen mode, while navigation could be done in the beautiful XBMC interface.
But I understand it is a huge task and there seems to be no interest from the core developpers.

Given that Boxee will release their sourcecode, perhaps their browser integration can be used in xbmc?

Given that the new Boxee Desktop has been released, including the source code, is there any chance we will see an integrated in XBMC.
Honestly you can't imagine the world of possibilities this would open ... or you can.
