If you need to use libraries that depend on browser APIs, then you won't be able to use server-side prerendering, or at least you need to ensure that those code paths don't get hit when the app is running on the server (e.g., like in this answer: https://github.com/ligershark/CoreTemplatePack/issues/23)
