Thanks, rektide! Streams support haven't been added since a) there hasn't appeared to be great demand from folks using the library, and b) I haven't needed it for any project at all.

Feel free to leave comments on the issue if you or others would like to use BrowserFS but have been dissuaded because it lacks streams. I'm interested in your use cases. If your files are relatively small, then basic stream support can be bolted on with 100% preloaded files. If they are larger, then it would require a larger effort to bolt on incremental file loading into each backend to support streams.
