Has anyone worked doing a Netscape plugin for Squeak?

you bet!
IIRC, John Maloney did a Mac Netscape plugin in 1997, then Andreas Raab
did one winter 1998-99 for Windows. There were reports of UNIX ports,
too. Steven Pair worked/is working on Squeaklets, image segments that
can be served as applets.
Here are some links:
Andreas' email on VM update:

Code (referenced above):

More work on this and other stuff:

You may want to check out the mailing list archives for discussions on
this and many other topics, especially if you joined recently. There's a
wealth of knowledge there.

The latter has a nice feature, group by thread. And it runs on Squeak.
