WICG/direct-sockets: Direct Sockets API for the web platform

I appreciate the effort, but I'd rather want libdweb to be resurrected. It's a shame that Mozilla killed it
I want to be able to write extensions that can do whatever the hell I want. It's my computer and it's my Browser. If necessary, I would enable it in the about:config. But there should be an option to allow me to do that.

Is there any way to get Mozillas attention back on libdweb?

I do demand the ability to reasonably extend my browser though. There used to be some effort in this direction: https://github.com/mozilla/libdweb https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=libdweb

Mozilla gave up on distributed web a long time ago, Just look at the libdweb[0] project. No update in years, nobody even to get almost complete patchset to firefox reviewed and merged.

This would be so amazing. In order to access most vanilla services like redis, postgres etc. you need to deploy a bridge https://github.com/zquestz/ws-tcp-proxy
CloudFlare/Deno etc. all have these workarounds around tunnelling but all that would disappear with this protocol. I made a service for writing servers on the web (https://webcode.run -- somewhat abandoned at this point but it is still running), and a big problem with the approach was the web's inability to make TCP connections.
