Based on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise#Browser_compatibility and https://caniuse.com/#feat=promises, all even remotely modern browsers already support basic
Promise
functionality natively.The only reason for keeping the
Promise
polyfill (at all) is to be able to support recent additions to the specification, such as e.g.finally
andallSettled
.Note that this patch will, on its own, remove support for IE 11/Edge (non-Chromium based) in both the general PDF.js library and the default viewer.
