I would like to know what are some of the coolest web browser games that you have tried and played and how were they?

Don't Shit Your Pants. It's stupid, but it is very memorable.
Boxhead. A decently fun zombie shooter that was basically the precursor to the COD Zombies game.

There was a flash game based on the first world war that I found to be rather enjoyable. Looking back, it even managed to get across how much of an organized slaughter that war was. Granted that may have been because of the nature of the march soldiers forward until you win gameplay, but it was still a cool feeling.
Dino Run.
2D runner with a time limit. You're a little velociraptor and you have to outrun the shockwave of the meteor impact.
You run to the right, trying to maintain speed while navigating obstacles, gobbling up smaller animals and eggs for bonus points, catching lifts on passing pterodactyls and skipping across the backs of stampeding dinosaurs.
Gets tongue-bitingly tense when the shockwave starts to catch up with you.

1916-der unbekannte krieg. You need the unity player, but with that it can be played in browsers. Also the game is in German so unless you can read that language you won't understand the flavor text. However, It can still be enjoyed despite that.
Here you play as a soldier in WW1 who has to look for a way out of the trenches while outmaneuvering goddamn velociraptors. You're not completely helpless though as there are a few items that you can find to help you distract the dinos. Items like flares, the limbs of your fallen allies, and eventually a rifle.
The game has grainy black and white visuals that make it hard to make things out. Those visuals in addition to the cramped environments give off an intense sense of tension and anxiety. The raptors are scary too; always slowly stalking around and poking their heads around the corner when you think your safe.
Other than that I enjoy the Boxhead series. They're top down shooter wave defense games. Simple, but good fun.

There is the game Koopas Revenge, which you play as a Koopa to go kill Luigi, Mario, and Peach. It's hard but a lot of fun. The other one I really like is Super Monkey Bloons, where you fly around as a monkey shooting down balloons. The more points you get, the stronger you can make yourself. Eventually, you can shoot an infinite Kamehameha beam.
SiSSYFiGHT 2000 [http://www.sissyfight.com]
Sadly the game went under in 2009, but thanks to a successful kickstarter last year they are coming back in a few days (open beta starts July 31th). It was a really early(1999) social game, where up to 6 people (8 y.o. schoolgirls) enter a room (playground) and try to come out with their self-esteem intact.

I like a game by the name of 'Rebuild'. It puts you in a zombie apocalypse, and the aim of the game is to make a safe zone in your city. You need people to tend the farms, people to guard the walls, as well as people to go out and look for more survivors/ food/ ways to expand your walls. It is pretty fun for a flash game.
Pandemic 2. I'm pretty sure that most people know what this game is, but it is a game where you manage a disease, and adapt and upgrade it to attempt to spread it across earth and wipe out humanity before they can create a vaccine and cure the remaining populace.
You can also buy and play Bastion through Google Chrome by buying it through the app store.

Learn to Fly 2
It's a classic. You play as a determined penguin who tries to learn how to fly... using ramps and glides.
In essence it is a launcher, but it is a very polished and fun one.
Candy Box, Candy Box 2, A Dark Room
Very different games with the same premise: ASCII-art based idle games where they start out incredibly simple (often just a simple line of narrative and a button to click) and with time they become more and more complex, with multiple different kinds of resources, gameplay mechanics and varying amount of story.
Cookie Clicker
The other end of the Idle Game spectrum: You make cookies by clicking on a giant cookie on the screen. Then you use the cookies you made to build upgrades that create more cookies, which you use to buy more upgrades, rinse and repeat.
Incredibly simple premise but with a very addicting nature and it gets fairly regular updates with holiday-themed events (which add even more upgrades) and the developer have been working on a roguelike dungeon-crawling minigame inside the core game. Fun, though it is a true idle game, meaning it is designed around the idea that you would be running it for days or even weeks in the background and only playing it sporadically when you have enough cookies to buy that new building that condenses antimatter into even more cookies for you.
And now for something completely different:
Corruption of Champions
Let's get it out of the way right now: It is porn. Not even just casual porn but sick, crazy, biologically and anatomically improbable, weird-as-fuck-fever-dream level porn done almost 100% in text. But by the same token it is some of the most insanely creative work of fiction I have ever read, and I have read some really, really weird shit in my time.
For a primer: Your character is a "sacrifice" sent through a portal by his/her village to a world taken over by race of sex-fueled demons. Your goal is... well, stay alive and sane. Or become a paragon of justice and wage war on the demons. Or do the opposite and become one of said demons by raping and rampaging your way through the land. Or start a kingdom. Or just get a bunch of cute monster girl wives and live happily ever after. Or enslave the same heroines and turn them into your sex-crazed servants. Oh, and did I mention that the game is chock full of potions and other consumables that can physically change your characters, from flipping their gender to turning them into monsters, with new skills and special attacks depending on the hundreds of different possible body-parts you can gain?
So yeah, while the subject matters of the game can be a huge turn off (or turn on, depending on your fetishes), it is one of the best sandbox adventure-RPGs I have ever seen/read and it is just so ridiculously unique that everyone who can stomach the more... "graphic" elements should at least give it a try.

Besides Corruption of Champions[footnote]Thank you GabeZhul for summing up why I still LOVE that game![/footnote], at random times, I would seem to look up the browser game Heli Attack 3 and basically see how long I can play through that game without dying...
Other than that, there were a few CN browser games from years past based on shows like Ed, Edd, n' Eddy and Class of 3000 that I would play for HOURS on end... I'm not too sure if they still exist, though, given how much CN's website has changed over the years...

Super Mario Bros Crossover
http://www.explodingrabbit.com/games/super-mario-bros-crossover
I especially love murdering the original mario levels with an overkill character like Bill (Contra) or Samus Aran.
Don't forget you can switch the skin of the game in the options menu to resemble the NES version gfx and chiptunes.

At one point I became pretty addicted to Realm of the Mad God which is like a browser MMO with roguelike bullet hell gameplay. It lands you in the middle of a world populated by hundreds of other players and hostile NPC enemies that you must kill to level up and farm for better items.
Eventually the Mad God will teleport the entire server and every player in it to his castle to fight him. It's a pretty fun game.

Legit surprised no-one's mentioned this yet, it's a cheeky little platformer called "The End"
http://www.playtheend.com/game
It sees fairly simple gameplay mixed with philosophical concepts and questions, and a very haunting music/aesthetic.
I rather enjoyed it.

It's not everyday I hear a person talk about this game. Admittedly I've played it and while some of the game bothers me, it doesn't ruin the gameplay.GabeZhul said:
OT Berzerk Ball is a fun one, basically kitten cannon but instead of a cat it's a neckbeard and instead of a cannon it's a baseball bat.
Abobo's Big Adventure; A great homage to NES era games.
When I was younger, my twin and I played our fair share of flash games. If those count, then I would say that eXmortis was pretty memorable. Granted, it was probably a hell of a lot scarier for 12-year-old me, but it still was a pretty solid point n' click adventure game.
I remember another point n' click horror game called The Ugly, but while I remember liking it, I do remember some parts feeling a bit ridiculous. Still, it was entertaining. The only flash game I remember from that site that wasn't horror was Zelda: Lampshade, but I don't remember much beyond the name.
