BarcodeDetector - silently failing on macOS 13+ prior to Chromium 113

[wojtekmaj]

What type of issue is this?

Browser bug (a bug with a feature that may impact site compatibility)

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Chromium-based browsers prior to version 113 suffered from a bug that caused BarcodeDetector to silently fail under macOS Ventura (13.0) and up due to failing to access Apple Neural Engine.

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

Chromium (Chrome, Edge 79+, Opera, Samsung Internet)

What did you expect to see?

Chromium versions 83-112 should be marked as suffering from a bug that prevents the usage of BarcodeDetector.

Did you test this? If so, how?

By actually trying out the feature. BarcodeDetector failed for me on MS Edge 111, and works in version 123.
