Is there any way to display an ncurses UI on a web browser? More specifically, if I run a program that has an ncurses UI on system X, can I display its UI on system Y through a web browser? Are there any tools available to do this?
One possible option would be to use the Secure Shell Chrome Extension.
This would allow you to ssh into the machine in the browser and run the ncurses program.
Perhaps you are looking for a ncurses web browser, like lynx?

I have some Chrome extensions installed and I can use them fine in normal run.
But when I use Selenium to drive Chrome to a page, I see "Chrome is being controlled by automated test software." and I don't have access to those extensions that I have installed. What are some easy ways to have access to the extensions in this kind of scenario? Is there some setting in Chrome perhaps that enables extensions in every mode?
Yes, there are a series of flags you'r need to set up to achieve that.
You can also simply use Selenium-Profiles or undetected-chromedriver for that. Those libraries additionally are undetected by sites like cloudfare and google.
weinre is a debugger for web pages, like FireBug (for FireFox) and Web Inspector (for WebKit-based browsers), except it's designed to work remotely, and in particular, to allow you debug web pages on a mobile device such as a phone.

I used answer from https://serverfault.com/questions/496169/running-node-js-at-boot, but modified it a little bit:

Modify it so that your User is correct and could launch weinre and have write access to LOG_FILE and LOCK_FILE
Hope, this would help you
Lets say i have an app and i want it to be executable standalone. I've found that you can do that with normal webpages, webapps, using https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit.
But if its chrome packaged app how do you do that.
I know it's possible as you can see in slides it uses webkit.
https://speakerdeck.com/u/zcbenz/p/node-webkit-app-runtime-based-on-chromium-and-node-dot-js
Theoretically it is possible but you will have to implement by hand all of the chrome apis you use in your chrome app
Does anyone know if this is possible in J2ME;
I want to have an app that simply launches a browser when opened and directs the browser to a specific web page.
If so, is it widely supported.
You can use javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet.platformRequest() to launch the browser on almost all phones that support JavaME. This article tells more about invoking platform services such as browser.
Is it possible to create an operating system that loads a web browser without menu bars, tabs etc. and that is all it loads.
I do not mean like Chrome OS but I mean all it loads is a html page which can be interacted with like an ordinary web page e.g. google.com, youtube.com.
Also, if this is possible, I would prefer it to be a Linux based OS and Webkit based browser.
You might have to roll your own for something like that...my recommendation would be a small linux distribution and then figure out how to run the surf browser, possibly with the tabbed extension, exclusively. When the x environment starts up just execute those programs. You'd honestly never know the difference.
Here is a screenshot of what this all looks like on my computer, running dwm for window management, and surf + tabbed. This browser is controlled via the keyboard, so you'd have to get use to that.
You don't need to create an operating system, you can use Linux.
A simple implementation would be creating an application using Qt Embedded (qws) with a Widget containing a QWebView only (it's WebKit based), that would load a predefined address.
You could spawn that app from the init scripts (rcS for example) in an endless loop (simple bash script, so if the app crashes it gets loaded again)
You can prototype it with a simple hardware like beagleboard.org or friendlyarm.net boards.
