+`browser-request` is [UMD](https://github.com/umdjs/umd) wrapped, allowing you to serve it directly to the browser from wherever you store the module.

+You may also use an [AMD loader](http://requirejs.org/docs/whyamd.html) by referencing the same file in your loader [config](http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html#config).
