Why does a web browser need raw socket access?
Raw sockets are for creating your own protocols on top of IP - that
is, alternatives to TCP and UDP.
It's also for protocols that don't normally offer userspace APIs. One
way to implement ping is to use a raw socket tp send and receive ICMP
packets.
All a web browser should require is TCP and DNS!
