More discreet "Incompatible browser" message about peertube

Do you know what is the JS error that leads to this message?

I think we should hide the angular application in such a scenario because we're not sure how the application will behave.

No, unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce this.

Is the "Incompatible browser" message only shown when there's actually an error or does it only check the browser version? If it's the latter, isn't it better to just show a clear message that says something like "enter at your own risk" since it may work even though it's unsupported?

Yes it's when there is an error (except to detect internet explorer). You can see the logic here: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/client/src/index.html#L70

Hi,

Are you able to know which web browser and version has this kind of error?

Hi, unfortunately I don't know in this specific case. I looked in Google Analytics to see which browser versions our TV users has been using for the last 90 days and found the following:

Browser	Version
Opera	28.0.1754.0
Chrome	87.0.4280.144
Amazon Silk	118.7.1
Amazon Silk	120.5.10
Amazon Silk	122.1.60

For the issue #3736 I know the user had Chrome 38 on a LG TV bought 2020.
