I thought the error produced by following the link to the original author's site was related to the .ua domain and current events, but it turns out the story is evidently more complicated, and seemingly also unresolved since 2018: https://github.com/iCrazyBlaze/Xash3D-Emscripten/issues/1

Some browsers will not be able to run the game correctly. If this happens, use Firefox instead. Now that made me do a double take.

First tried on Firefox, couldn't get past the menu.

I started a multiplayer game, game runs at 65fps, buttery smooth.

Worked great for me on FF developer edition fwiw. The cursor was offset in the initial menus, but once I was in-game it was all effectively perfect.

Somewhat related, but you can also play CS 1.6 in your browser: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23497236

The site itself seems to currently down but I was using just a few weeks ago. I found that port pretty impressive because multiplayer also works and still had lots of active players! (though ctrl-w for crouch and move forward doesn't, so I can't say it was a seamless experience)

I tried all the browsers. Wasn't able to start the game in any of 'em.

Make sure you're trying to get into the game mode you downloaded when prompted with "Select game data source" - if it was HLDM, only multiplayer is going to work.
