We require SharedWorker currently but some browsers especially older versions do not support this. We should offer a better error message that informs the user of what the requirements are.

Research direction

Start by locating the SharedWorker initialization and its current error path in the TypeScript application. Check how unsupported browsers are detected, then make the failure message state the required browser support; done means unsupported browsers receive a clear requirements-focused error.
