Well then, write your own web browser that can do that.

You won't find any commercial browser that can, for the reasons I gave
previously. For some reason people who write web browsers write them
for browsing the web and strangely they hope they will be used all over
the place.

Anything that a local web page can do a remote page can do, period.
That's the way the web is designed.

You want to run a program? That's what your operating system is there
for!
