Hello, again.

A new incompatibility issue that I've just found is due to the lack of
support of Javascript's BigInt in Seamonkey. It keeps me from using
PeerTube, as I've been told here:
https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/7290#issuecomment-3569578788

It seems like a known problem to Seamonkey developers:
https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=3110656

Although there's a way to avoid this from the sites' side, web
developers at Peertube don't seem to be willing to do this simple
workaround:
https://www.webdevtutor.net/blog/javascript-bigint-browser-support

(It's just the old usual attitude of "Well, if you don't use the
browsers I tell you, then don't annoy and f**ck off!")

Does anybody have any information about Seamonkey being compatible with
BigInt in the next future?

Thanks.

Wordfence site is also incompatible. They said to me:

"This suggests that our modern JavaScript is incompatible with
SeaMonkey's older JavaScript engine and we recommend you use a different
browser."

So, is there a problem with SM's JS engine? :-/

Anybody working on that?
