Are WebAssembly projects going to display a message somewhere that says "WEB4G" when started?

Amazing that they have a dark mode detection on that website.

You can do that in CSS now. I've noticed surprisingly many sites adjusting when I started using a Windows machine and set my system-wide preference to dark mode.

So, will we need to have 4GB of ram to run Javascripts now? :)
