Revision as of 15:47, 30 March 2012 by PhilHudson (talk | contribs)
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
Iceweasel, Conkeror etc.
Conkeror comes with a small C program that enables external editing of form fields and page source in Emacs. Thus, no third-party extension/plugin is required.
Webkit family
Safari, Chrome etc.
