New Browser Engine, and what's to come.
The only thing in the game that I am aware of that uses browser tech is the BLTP…..nothing at all in the Blog post indicates this would ever be used for anything but that interface (but it’s certainly possible, I guess).

As of now.
But they could expand on it
Just get yourself overwolf. it gets the job done quite nicely.
I would rather they didn’t.
Keep the new TP browser streamlined and focused on the TP and ONLY the TP. Adding in everything needed to deal with the wiki would just be bloat when dealing with what it’s really intended for. Bloat that slows it down, and adds in things that can go wrong.
delicate, brick-like subtlety.
Could this mean they could build an interface so we could get in-game access to the wiki?
The trading post has always been a simple web browser and because of that, you could always mod it to do whatever you wanted. All the new trading post changes for example I had working over a year ago, but dropped the project because I assumed this was going to happen sooner.
As for displaying the wiki, or something else:
could I get the method of doing this?
That’s amazing!

For a basic implementation, you begin with a local web server and modify your local hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) to remap tradingpost-dfw-live.ncplatform.net to your local server (127.0.0.1). This will remap the trading post tab to your server, causing it to lose its original functionality for as long as that hosts file entry remains. The other tabs are gemstore-dfw-live.ncplatform.net and exchange-dfw-live.ncplatform.net.
