Description
There have been a few cases of people trying to use the JavaScript driver straight from a browser (latest: rethinkdb/rethinkdb#5802). We should probably have an entry in the FAQ that explains why this does not work, and directs them to a better explanation about what the architecture should be (along with a direct to Horizon).
