eww (a backronym invented by author Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen[1] for "Emacs Web Wowser") is a web browser written entirely in Emacs Lisp. It is part of GNU Emacs starting with version 24.4.[2] If Emacs is compiled with the suitable image libraries, and is used in a graphical environment (such as under the X Window System), it can render images inline directly into Emacs's display buffer. It requires an Emacs built with libxml2 support.

So this Monday, I came up with the name of the browser while half-asleep: eww! I don’t quite know what the second w is supposed to stand for (Emacs Web Wowser?), but now that I had a name I just had to start programming.
