I had a quick look at the 3D browser uBrowser that was recently released. More fun than functional. The movie I made do only show the OpenGL result and not the browser interface, have a look at their homepage for screenshoots.

uBrowser is an simple Web Browser that illustrates one way of embedding the Mozilla® Gecko rendering engine into a standalone application using LibXUL. In this case, the contents of the page is grabbed as it’s being rendered and displayed as a texture on some geometry using OpenGL™. You are able to interact with the page (mostly) normally and visit (almost) any site that works correctly with Firefox® 1.5.

I made a quick flash movie (5MB) how it looks.
