I know it's not exactly that, but if anyone wants to use PGP in the browser with webmail clients, there's Mailvelope[0].
What I like about it is that you can use it with GnuPG as a backend[1], so I can sign and decrypt emails in the browser with an OpenPGP smartcard without importing private keys.

Maybe something built on top of Webauthn is possible? I guess we have to wait and see.

As far as I can tell, there wasn't even a discussion about this, which is ridiculous, considering the web (if you count it as a single system) is clearly the biggest communication platform in the world today.
