.NET Core started as the Silverlight runtime, didn't it?

The extent of Wasm's availability on browsers is quite big right now. Both iOS and Android and all major desktop browsers. That sort of reach is what I meant by the term "the browser" used generically. Different from being an extension to one or a few browsers or something like that.
Silverlight was never a native part of the browser.
