Research direction

Locate the browser implementation and the existing algorithm-selection or capability-detection entry point. Check how X25519 support is currently handled, then verify that the browser path uses it when available while preserving the existing fallback behavior; run the relevant browser tests if the repository provides them.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Already shipped in Firefox and next Webkit version will enable it as well. The browser implementation should be updated to use it if available.
