My browser WASM’t prepared for this. Using DuckDB, Apache Arrow and Web Workers in real life Introduction At Motif Analytics, we are building a highly-interactive analytics tool, which allows finding insights in relatively large datasets, fully in-browser. We have a more traditional cloud-mode too, but the “local” (fully in-browser) mode is an important way for our users to experiment with Motif and see if it matches their needs, without making any commitments on their end.

So there are only 2 web browser engines, and it seems likely there will soon only be 1, and making a whole new web browser from the ground up is effectively impossible because the browsers vendors have weaponized web standards complexity against any newcomers.
