I don't think so. You still need a secure way to get an access key from twitter and you may want to hide your consumer secret key.

See first link that was provided by quantumSoup - Unauthenticated access has been suspended. It is not possible to do a browser only solution unless you're comfortable storing authentication data publicly for everybody to see. – stricjux Mar 17 '14 at 13:47

Yes it is possible to implement a Secure 100% browser based javascript twitter client using oAuth.

You can do this by using YQL & YUI.

There is a open-source project called Tweetanium that shows how to implement that in JavaScript.
