On the topic of IPFS, but also slightly tangential -- how has nobody written an Activity Pub client/server in Javascript and distributed it as a Browser Addon?

If an IPFS node/server can be literally hosted via a Firefox Extension[1], how has nobody done the same for an arguably easier protocol like Activity Pub?

Ipfs is a pull protocol. Activitypub is normally implemented as a push one (despite the specification having outboxes, so in theory it should be able to do either)
