Browser support?

[Richienb]

We can use document.execCommand or the Async Clipboard API to create a 1:1 implementation for browsers.

See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Interact_with_the_clipboard

Sure, but only the async APIs can be supported. It should use the Async Clipboard API. Not interested in any fallback for older browsers.

See https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#esm_conditional_exports on how to add the browser version.

@sindresorhus In that case, how do we handle calls to writeSync and readSync when running in the browser if we want a 1:1 interface?

[sindresorhus]

We would just document that those don't work in the browser.

@sindresorhus The latest version of browserify can't seem to recognise the browser field. Do you have an example in another one of your packages?
