No.

The require.js library can let you use the CommonJS module system in a web browser.

It can't let you use APIs provided by Node.js but not by browsers (and thus can't let you use modules which depend on those APIs).

Security restrictions in browsers make it practically impossible. – Quentin Apr 19 '20 at 08:55
