For complete browser support, the impact of chained JS timers throttling should be assessed, and worker-timers or similar packages should be used if needed. |

Currently, node-cron depends on child_process to execute string-based commands, which prevents it from being used in browser environments.
I propose completely removing the child_process dependency to enhance browser compatibility and make node-cron more versatile across different platforms.
💻 Use Cases
Running node-cron in a browser-based environment.
