> *What happens:*
> Chrome 29 throws an error about missing {{atob}} and {{btoa}} global functions (used in the frontend AgentManager service). The error gets succesfully displayed to user in a default error notification, but ambiguous message "Reference error: can't find atob" provides very little useful info for most of users without advanced JS background.
> *What should happen:*
> Web console should relay this and similar errors in a more accessible manner.
> *Possible solutions:*
> 1. Consider missing API errors as operational, add explicit handler to generate better messages, detect features and polyfill when possible. Pros: better UX, increases supported browsers percentage. Cons: very high maintenance cost.
> 2. Notify user about unsupported/outdated browser. Pros: easy to implement, simultaneously covers lots of potential issues. Cons: very non-specific, UX worse than option #1.
