   @evan I just read your blog post, where it says "One thing I learned is that Mozilla is working on an MLS implementation in the browser". Did they/you mean that as they're working on a Web API for MLS, which they want to implement in Firefox first? 🤔

     @raucao yes, that's what I heard, but I don't have a link to info on it. I believe the idea is to build the MLS algorithms into Firefox, and then apps can connect them to their own transports. It's a cool model. There was some concern by others in the browser space that there's not a clear difference between this approach and just having a common, high-quality MLS JS library.

     @evan Thanks! Yeah, it seems to me like a high-quality library would solve the same problem, and we'd have to polyfill one anyway, for browsers that don't support MLS primitives natively yet. In the long run, it could increase performance by not having to download that code, of course.

     I asked, because I had just looked into the library situation a couple of days ago, and it seems like there's nothing available in TS/JS at the moment:
