    It’s not about a different function providing different randomness, but providing a compatible implementation for environments not supporting the “regular” implementation.

    If this screenshot is legit, I guarantee you that either the library is older and there was some weird branching for IE or it’s brand new and had branching for the hot new JS runtime / cross compiling.

    Supporting a metric fuckton of browsers and environments takes the same amount of shims.
