You can use WebAssembly to make a synchronous WebCrypto-like API. Reportedly in some cases (for simple algorithms like digests on small inputs) such an implementation is faster than using the WebCrypto API, presumably b/c of the overhead of WebCrypto's async API.

Async APIs offer suspect functionality on top of sync API’s that do not leak information. I find the vast majority of developers who think they understand async APIs do not, thus the implementation complexity forced by their design is not worth it.

For decades my students marveled at the fact that we could get anything done without threads.
