Realistically, I'd expect this to see significant adoption only if installing the server is very easy. Maybe a browser extension? |

Thanks for suggestion, niklasf. But, I don't have a clear plan to finish up this feature, so I'll close this PR for now. |

I've made a prototype for this #7909.
There are many TODOs left in the comment, but maybe code-wise this might not be that complicated.
Currently this client assumes uci engine is directly proxied via websocket. As an example of such proxy server, I made this npm package uci-ws (for example, you can run stockfish just by
npx uci-ws stockfish), but possibly more complicated server with authentication can be also implemented via https/wss and putting credentials in url parameter.I really don't know the audience, but my concern is how many people uses this feature and maybe this doesn't worth much.
