Web Workers work independently of the main browser UI thread so they’re not able to access many of its objects. The limitation is that Web Workers can’t access the DOM, so they can’t read or modify the HTML document.

HTML5 Web worker looks to be very helpful in many situations but it has several limitations.

Few JavaScript objects are not available to HTML5 web worker as:

1. Parent object
2. Window object
3. Document object
