Background
Rationale
Current error can be confusing as Chrome does have webcrypto support, but it is not available on non-TLS HTTP sites. A developer may opt-in to use a webcrypto-shim in such case, but it takes some time with google to realize what is happening in the first place. Improved Error improves UX by introducing the concept of secure context as a second thing to check.
