I hope some day the browser's webtransport also gets p2p support.
It seemed like there was such a good exciting start, but the spec has been dormant for years. https://github.com/w3c/p2p-webtransport

Unlike websockets you can supply "cert hash" which makes it possible for the browser to establish a TLS connection with a client that doesn't have a certificate signed by a traditional PKI provider or even have a domain name. This property is immensely useful because it makes it possible for browsers to establish connections to any known non-browser node on the internet, including from secure contexts (i.e. from an https page where e.g. you can't establish a ws:// connection, only wss:// is allowed but you need a 'real' tls cert for that)

However, there have been some recent pull requests indicating gradual progress:

Webtransport as a protocol certainly could be used for p2p, but the browser APIs aren't there: hence p2p-webtransport was created, to allow its use beyond traditional server<->client.
