Comparing the currently supported browsers/environments, see the FAQ and the MDN compatibility data, the
structuredClonepolyfill is only needed in Google Chrome versions < 98. Because of some limitations in the core-js polyfill we're currently forced to special-case thetransferhandling to prevent bugs, and it'd be nice to avoid that.Note that
structuredClone, with transfers, is only used in two spots:LoopbackPortclass, which is only used with fake workers. Given that fake workers should never be used in browsers, breaking that edge-case in older Google Chrome versions seem fine.AnnotationStorageclass, when Stamp-annotations have been added to the document. Given that Google Chrome isn't the main focus of development, breaking part of the editing-functionality in older Google Chrome versions should hopefully be acceptable.
