The Mac failure to build looks unrelated.

Can anyone comment what is another option to make shared websocket if you removed this feature?

SharedWorker is mandatory for implementing the superthread architecture for webapps. Is there any chance that it will be brought back to consideration?

@brady ServiceWorker has temporary lifetime while SharedWorker persists until all pages are closed. This is the fundamental difference between the two. As a result, persistent connections (websocket, indexeddb) can not be kept alive in ServiceWorker.
