IPFS supports today WebRTC, TCP, uTP and WebSockets, thanks to the multi transport approach libp2p[0] offers. In fact, that is how Orbit works, a chat app build completely in JS, using IPFS, on the browser without any plugins. Check:
- http://orbit.libp2p.io/ - https://github.com/haadcode/orbit
The js-ipfs DHT is underdevelopment, in fact, we have an implementation, but it is not compatible with go-ipfs so we are not rolling it out, yet.
To check the latest updates on the project and learn whats next, check our log https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/30#issuecomment-22604...
[0] - libp2p is the network stack of IPFS, also a standalone project https://github.com/ipfs/specs/tree/master/libp2p
