Description
it would be a HUGE win to move away from libsodium (giant size, not ESM capable).
it seems support for ed25519/x25519 keys (import, export, sign, verify) landed "recently" (e.g., chrome 137 6 months ago, firefox 130 14 months ago, safari 17 1-2 years ago).
we're probably nearing the point where we could safely assume to move support for these key curves into native web crypto and basically drop libsodium. would need to verify if the encryption/decryption (used by local-vault) also works in those places, but I assume it does if the key management does.
I think maybe once we pass a full year of chrome support, it's probably safe to make this move.
