Description

The only thing that might be holding back against browser support is the GRPC/Protobuf stuff. I haven't really looked into it all that much. I think I have chosen options which are native JS but they may be "native JS relying on node-specific services". I believe there exists a browser-based grpc client and so it should be possible.

Testing will be needed and will probably the bigger challenge.

Research direction

Review the current GRPC/Protobuf choices and verify whether they depend on Node-specific services. Investigate a browser-based gRPC client and determine the testing needed; done means the JavaScript client works in a browser with browser-focused coverage.
