Comparing the currently supported browsers/environments, see [the FAQ](https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-support) and the [MDN compatibility data](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/structuredClone#browser_compatibility), the `structuredClone` polyfill is *only* needed in Google Chrome versions < 98. Because of some limitations in the core-js polyfill we're currently forced to special-case the `transfer` handling to prevent bugs, and it'd be nice to avoid that.
Note that `structuredClone`, with transfers, is only used in two spots:
- The `LoopbackPort` class, 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.
- The `AnnotationStorage` class, 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.
