+### Environments without IndexedDB
+
+`emoji-picker-element` has a hard requirement on [IndexedDB](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/IndexedDB), and will not work without it.
+
+For browsers that don't support IndexedDB, such as [Firefox in private browsing mode](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1639542), you can polyfill it using [fake-indexeddb](https://github.com/dumbmatter/fakeIndexedDB). Here is [a working example](https://bl.ocks.org/nolanlawson/651e6fbe4356ff098f505e6cc5fb8cd8) and [more details](https://github.com/nolanlawson/emoji-picker-element/issues/9).
+
+For Node.js environments such as [Jest](https://jestjs.io/) or [JSDom](https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom) , you can also use fake-indexeddb. A [working example](https://github.com/nolanlawson/emoji-picker-element/blob/d45b61b559b8cef6840b7036e3d1749a213c490e/config/jest.setup.js#L15-L18) can be found in the tests for this very project.

 ## Design decisions
 
 Some of the reasoning behind why `emoji-picker-element` is built the way it is.

 2. After the first load, there is no need to download, parse, and index the JSON file again, because it's already available in IndexedDB.
 3. If you want, you can even [load the IndexedDB data in a web worker](https://github.com/nolanlawson/emoji-picker-element/blob/ff86a42/test/adhoc/worker.js), keeping the main thread free from non-UI data processing.

 ### Native emoji
 
 To avoid downloading a large sprite sheet that renders a particular emoji set – which may look out-of-place on different platforms, or may have [IP issues](https://blog.emojipedia.org/apples-emoji-crackdown/) – `emoji-picker-element` only renders native emoji. This means it is limited to the emoji actually installed on the user's device.
