Why not just use the Unity Web player? All the power of the unity engine, embedded into a web page.

The only one I've looked at is CopperLicht.
I also checked Copperlicht, looks good to me (as Irrlicht User I felt "at home" with the API).

Are people really bothered now about downloading a tiny file to play games?

The simple answer is yes. There are various reasons why people are unwilling to download and install plugins.

1) They are at work and have a standardised system on their machine. Installing things without permission could get them into trouble.

2) They dont understand why they are downloading it, and want to err on the side of caution. It might be a virus!

3) The computer they are on does not belong to them.

4) Plain laziness.
Don't thank me, thank the moon's gravitation pull! Post in My Journal and help me to not procrastinate!
5) Their favorite browser is not supported by the plugin.

We like GLGE at the moment, but Three.js looks promising too. I have made a pretty extensive list of WebGL Engines here: http://ffwd.typepad....our-engine.html

Komodo is an excellent IDE, in my opinion.

Best of luck!
