What is the Maya Web Browser?
The Maya Web Browser is a Maya panel you can use to browse Web content. Like any other Maya panel, it can be placed in the main Maya window alongside other panels, and can be torn off into a separate window. 

You can also use the Maya Browser to communicate with Maya using MEL commands. To issue a MEL command from the Maya Browser, precede it with  “mel://”. By adding MEL links to HTML and JavaScript code, you can design your own Web interface for Maya. For example, you can set up multiple controls (widgets) within HTML pages for easy reference, comparison, or tweaking of characters, or you can share your custom MEL tools over the Internet.

The following links using MEL are examples you could add to an HTML page. Click on these links and watch what happens in your other Maya panels. 

Create default cube
Create sphere with radius 3
Select cube
Move cube 5 units along X axis
Select sphere
Change radius of sphere to 8
How is it different from other browsers?
The main purpose of the Maya Browser is to let you integrate Web solutions into your Maya workflow. Although the Maya Browser lets you view practically any Web content that is W3C compliant, keep in mind that it is not intended as a full-featured Web browser. For example, it cannot create popup windows, so if a page has a link that creates a new window, that link will not work in the Maya Browser.
