I didn’t know the Browser could do that

" summary

Claim: modern browsers expose real device features and OS‑like services and Chrome actually implements most of them. Examples use actual APIs: speech synthesis plus Chrome speech recognition (audio proxies to Google), getUserMedia + MediaRecorder, geolocation, Notifications + service worker push, BatteryManager (removed in Firefox), Web Audio, vibration, device orientation, Web Bluetooth/USB, payments and Web Share. A small demo app — the meow assistant — ties recognition, geolocation, weather fetch and speech output together; demos sometimes fail but the Chrome examples run.
