Is this still a polyfill? #207

Definition of polyfill by Mozilla: "A polyfill is a piece of code (usually JavaScript on the Web) used to provide modern functionality on older browsers that do not natively support it."

When you add code doing more than what the modern actually API does, it is no longer really a polyfill.

Very true. No matter someones views on malware/protestware and whether this fits the definition, this is definitely no longer a polyfill and shouldn't be used as one.

Please change the definition so

TheOtterlord commented 2 years ago

Change the definition of polyfill to include unexpected, undocumented behavior?
