Browserify is a popular tool that allows developers to use Node.js-style modules in the browser. It enables bundling of JavaScript files for the browser environment, making it easier to manage dependencies and modularize code. Browserify simplifies the development process by allowing developers to write code using the CommonJS module system and then bundle it for the browser without manual script tags.

Compared to other bundling tools like Webpack or Rollup, Browserify is known for its simplicity and ease of use, especially for projects that do not require complex configurations. However, Browserify is considered to be less feature-rich and flexible compared to its alternatives, especially for larger and more complex projects.
