You mean MythBrowser?

MythWeb uses a normal browser with a normal Flash player plugin, 
so--assuming they don't have any asinine Windows-only restrictions--any 
browser that can do MythWeb and can do Flash could do Hulu stuff, but 
that browser has nothing to do with Myth.  Therefore, I'm thinking you 
mean MythBrowser.
