They run independently as applications but thanks to extensions like
mozrepl they can communicate the same way as Emacs + SLIME can with many
Common Lisp implementations. So really embracing mozrepl would allow
building a bridge between regular Emacs usage and browsing, focusing on
conkeror allows us to have a more familiar environment both for usage and
extending.

Conkeror can be connected both ways with Emacs using mozrepl so I can
imagine (but can't confirm) that one could implement a feature that would
send website text content directly to emacspeak.
So my guess is that You could not only pass every browser buffer to
emacspeak but also wouldn't have problems with pages using heavy
javascript and flash for navigation. Before You take my words for granted
it would be wise to wait for confirmation of this possibility from someone
with actual experience with mozrepl.
I also saw a browser extension for Firefox called 'It's all text' that
could send text input elements from forms and allow to edit them in
external editors, sending it back when the editor saved the file. If
exporting text from regular Firefox this way is possible then I assume
that the website text content wouldn't be much different.
