The IGB needs an update from Chrome 3 to something more modern.
It could also do with being able to open multiple windows, and a compact mode that hides the browser controls so whatever web app you have in it has access to all the window space, so you can dock useful things in various places like minimaps or fleet tools.
And the javascript API could do with some love, it's a bit patchy in function coverage.
Opening in external browser could be handy, although that's got to be handled with care with the obvious dangers in spawning external processes; so long as it's done right, yes that'd be nice.

Give us additional tool - browser feeds. Replace the unusable "Map browser" with a sidebar, that may house a number of resizable panels, each hosting a small IGB attached to a web feed.
Then you can finally get something good of this panel.
Scouting reports, custom solarsystem maps, webchat - whatever the minds of EVE players may visualize and put together. And all with live feeds, without risk of accidental closing.
That's a decent idea.

The old IGB could be told to refresh page on session changes so that it could send your updated location to the web app you were using; this got lost in the upgrade to chromium/awesomium.
A better way to get that functionality back would be to have hooks in the CCPEVE javascript integration object, so that you can register your own functions to be called on (at least) session change. This would mean things like minimaps would be up to date with your location, and avoid them having to spam regular refreshes or redundant AJAX requests.
This principle could go further for other events, e.g. hooks to feed in market data as you look at it - this could be a supported way to get market data for EMDR in light of the cache-scraping controversy.
Or a callback when you board a ship, including its current fitting, to feed into fleet management apps. Various possibilities here.
