I am curious about the browser compatibility layer.

Does it support networking? (And if so, is it using a proxy to connect to the internet or is it using a virtualized network layer that stays in the browser?)

How is fork implemented? (Asyncify all the code?)

I was looking at the Github org page (https://github.com/wasix-org), but I can't figure out where this stuff is.

wasi is wasm applied outside of the browser

it's basically nonsensical to try to adapt wasi in the browser

I don't necessarily disagree, but implementing these things in your custom runtime is easy. I am more interested in how they achieved them in the more constrained browser environment.

They claim they did it. That's what we're talking about. Did you read the article?
