Since text editing in Emacs is better, extensions are developed for all major web browsers to use Emacs as their external editor. Mostly these extensions make use of Emacs daemon.

Firefox Family

See the emacs_chrome extension.

Webkit family

 Safari, Chrome etc.

Internet Explorer

Opera

Older versions of Opera based on Presto had a version of the popular Firefox It's All Text extension. Newer versions of Opera based on Chromium do not have a native extension (yet). However, Opera does support Chrome/Chromium extensions to some extent via this extension. You can then install the "Edit with Emacs" extension from the Chrome Web Store.
