My Browser Does What
summary
A set of live demos proves browsers can do far more than render HTML: a socket.io WebSocket tunnel pushes demos to phones and runs a multi-client chat (WebSockets ~97.4% support); the Notification API requires permission plus a service worker and shows desktop notifications (~79% support); Geolocation returns lat/long and watchPosition (97.68%); SpeechSynthesis loads voices with onvoicechange; getUserMedia streams video to a canvas with filters; Clipboard read/write is promise‑based (96%/82% variances); a vibration pattern plays the Imperial March vibration; Bluetooth streams heart‑rate from a device — all demos function live.
