👾 Description of the issue

According to the teams response in the following issue, mirror nodes do not support use in a browser environment. https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-sdk-js/issues/1114. Add this information to the mirror node section in docs.

Solution

• Go to https://docs.hedera.com/hedera/sdks-and-apis/hedera-consensus-service-api section in the docs GitHub repo
• Add the information to a callout noting that the mirror node does not support gRPC web proxies and browser storage

Proposed Solution:

• Go to the fees table and use this link https://hashgraph.github.io/hedera-sdk-js/modules/native.html to map the Hedera API names with the SDK API names for transactions and queries
• Rename the "Operations" column to "Hedera API"
• Add a column to the table to the right of Hedera API column titled "SDK API"
• Enter the SDK API name for all Hedera API names
