WebKit is going to support WebTransport

WebTransport is already available in Chrome, Edge and Firefox[0]. Safari does not have it but that is going to change soon it seems as per [1].

Could have interesting implications for many things. Interesting use case - gRPC might be natively possible in browsers with no HTTP proxies in between.

EDIT: Added link to exact label.

It sucks egg that fetch/the browser expose trailers nor push. gRPC should just work over existing http2 & http3 capabilities. But for some reason http never gets support from the web platform. Madness & enraging.
