-Note: This package does not have proper microtask support in old browsers. Instead, old browsers fallback to `setTimeout`. This will be slower, but it allows us to avoid including a complicated solution.
+Note: This package throws an exception in JS environments which lack `Promise` support -- which are usually very old browsers and Node.js versions.
 
-Since the `queueMicrotask` API is supported in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Edge, **the vast majority of users will get the optimal experience**. Any JS environment with `Promise`, which is almost all of them, also get the optimal experience. If you need optimal performance in old browsers, use one of the alternative packages.
