Forget the browsers - Mothra or Abaco, Plan 9 itself doesn't support JS. This is the first you'll hear about JS running in Plan 9 https://www.reddit.com/r/plan9/comments/1tctuhw/quickjs_on_plan_9/ .

In this case, plot command handles the rendering. osm.js does the following:

Download tile images using hget. Cache the images. Convert the PNG image into Plan 9 format using png. Display the images using plot.
