When people try to setup opentelemetry with a browser application they commonly run into the following issues:

  • They try to use GRPC
  • They don't have a CSP set up for their collector
  • They don't have CORS headers send by their collector
  • They are not aware that they need to expose their collector to the public

While trying to bring back the otel browser extension I ran into those issues myself, so I documented what I have done and with that I tried to address them here with a few words as well.

Not perfect yet, but hopefully a starting point.
