Answer 1

Browserify solves the problem of require not being supported by browsers.

It also allows you to use tools like npm and yarn to manage JS packages since it can resolve them using require like Node.js can.

It doesn’t solve the problem of modules, like puppeteer, depending on APIs that are provided by Node.js and not by browsers. You can’t run Puppeteer client-side.
