> Please don't code directly against e.g. proprietary Node APIs. What Node APIs are proprietary?

  All of them? You need to have node installed to use them. Standard APIs work in chrome or Firefox or safari.

    but you have to have chrome or Firefox or safari installed to use those APIs. What if you're somewhere that doesn't have any of those as an option?

      The point I was making was that the standard APIs are standards implemented by many different runtimes/environments/browsers etc. If you target specifically Node so that you can use the non-standard features that only Node has, then you can only use Node. Proprietary. Target the standard APIs and you can use anything.
