The Browser Is Already a Supercomputer. You Just Have to Ask.

The 10 best browser APIs we can use without installing libraries Developers spend hours configuring build tools, auditing dependencies, and debating bundle sizes, all to ship features that have been sitting inside the browser, fully built, completely free, waiting to be used.
