https-browserify allows you to use the https module of Node.js directly in a browser environment. By providing a browser-compatible HTTPS implementation, it bridges the gap between server-side and client-side JavaScript in situations where https functionality is needed. Primarily useful for projects using Browserify or similar bundlers, it facilitates the execution of Node.js modules within browser contexts by offering a polyfill for secure HTTP requests. Essentially makes https available in the frontend.
The npm package https-browserify has infrequent releases. It was initially released in December 2013 (version 0.0.0), followed by a release in September 2015 (version 0.0.1), and another in April 2017 (version 1.0.0). Since then, there have been no further releases, indicating a period of inactivity spanning over 8 years as of September 6, 2025.

From January to August 2025, downloads generally fluctuated between 33 and 50 million. September 2025's partial data indicates significantly lower downloads (7.1 million).
