Plash is a macOS app that lets you set any website as your desktop wallpaper, with support for multiple sites, auto-reload, custom CSS/JavaScript, browsing mode, and per-display configuration. The source code is no longer open-source, but the app remains actively developed with GitHub issues used for feedback.
