Only people using Safari < 13 will see that message. 13 is 1.5 years old, so yours must be older. We saw tons of wasm failures on Safari < 13, to the point that it was better to stop people before they got deep into something and hit a failure.

We run the entirety of SQLite, compiled to wasm, in the browser, among other things. It depends on the course, but our version checks are site-wide because it's all one app.
