    I have a question.

    In Rust client has a button called 'View WebSite'.

    I make it through plug-in GUI ??

    No, it's not possible to open a browser or website from the server on a client.

    It's not realistically possible, however it may be possible for you to re-create a website using the inbuilt CUI tools.

    You'd need a CSS/HTML parser that can convert the webpages into CUI-supported data, which would take a hell of a lot of work, however it would be really cool to see.

    That'd be a ton of work, and be a crazy amount of code. :p

    If you just wanted static content, you could use a webpage screenshot API and show those in-game via the CUI, but kinda silly.

    Ah ofcourse, very true. Although that wouldn't support use of buttons/interaction etc :p

    You wouldn't just need a parser, you'd need an actual browser engine for CUI.
