Running Scratch and things in odd programs
Thanks to jailbreaking and AppIndex, I have now realized there's a built-in screenshots testing app, com.apple.ScreenshotServicesService
By default, however, the home page is apple.com and I don't think there really is a way to get to google.com (and even if there were it would most likely go to Safari)
There's also com.apple.webapp / “Web”, not to be confused with com.apple.mobilesafari which is Safari
or com.apple.SafariViewService which is a black screen. Although com.apple.webapp says “Web” which is promising, the app itself is just a white screen.

I know Windows XP is supported using MyPal, but using KernelEx + MyPal you could theoretically get it running on Windows 2000. Not sure about anything earlier Edit: I wonder what the oldest OS you could get Scratch website running on is?

If you forked Lynx (the oldest web browser still in development), and added JavaScript support, you could probably get it running on MS-DOS (assuming you're running MS-DOS on hardware fast enough to run Scratch at all). I wonder what the oldest OS you could get Scratch website running on is?

(#224)Hmmmmmm…. I might work on this in my free time at some point.If you forked Lynx (the oldest web browser still in development), and added JavaScript support, you could probably get it running on MS-DOS (assuming you're running MS-DOS on hardware fast enough to run Scratch at all). I wonder what the oldest OS you could get Scratch website running on is?

Also, how have people not pulled up Scratch on a Samsung fridge yet???

Well, I am currently managing to write this inside the built-in iframe at https://scratch.mit.edu/pathways/fashion/
This is interesting, since I'm technically running Scratch in Scratch

Would be funny if someone ported the entire Scratch VM to Scratch

Well, if you wanted 2.0: Would be funny if someone ported the entire Scratch VM to Scratch https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/113321949/
Although there are some JS engine projects and some HTML/CSS parser projects out there- you could take them and make a browser- and then just upload a build of Scratch to it (you'd probably have to do it offline because of project.json file size limits), and run Scratch in a browser in Scratch in Electron/a browser

I meant all of this: https://github.com/scratchfoundation/scratch-vmWell, if you wanted 2.0: Would be funny if someone ported the entire Scratch VM to Scratch https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/113321949/
You'd probably just need a JavaScript interpreter, as you said, but not a whole browser, since you would “”“only”“” need to implement WebGL (probably) (I haven't looked too much into how Scratch renders things)

Replication instructions, please.

Also does it still work with browser extensions disabled?

I think 8to16 just made a mockup to explain the idea or somethinghttps://u.cubeupload.com/amp_electrecuted/HxiLoo.pngReplication instructions, please.

The answer is you can't, the forums don't support embedding projects or arbitrary iframes or anything like that. (you could technically with a browser extension/userscript that added extra markup, if that's what BigNate469 meant, but only other users of the extension would see it. And then it's maybe not really Scratch in odd programs anymore)
