A browser window on the left and a server on the right joined by a broad channel carrying amber arrows flowing right and teal arrows flowing left at the same time, showing full-duplex two-way traffic

In Part 1 the server learned to talk without being asked — but the browser could still only listen. A chat, a multiplayer game, a collaborative editor: these need both sides speaking freely over one connection. This is Part 2 of the series, and it's about the browser's true two-way channels — WebSockets, the workhorse, and WebTransport, its modern successor.
