Can you elaborate more about your use case and this issue too?

This is a problem mostly during testing, when running things from localhost and you don't need https. Add the following somewhere early in the code as a polyfill to fix:

try {
  crypto.randomUUID();
} catch (e) {
  crypto.randomUUID = () => {
    var chars = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(31));
    return "10000000-1000-4000-8000-100000000000".replace(
      /[018]/g,
      (c, i) => ((c ^ chars[i]) & (15 >> (c / 4))).toString(16)
    );
  };
}

interesting that makes sense for the crypto API. these are just used for operation ids; I think it's fine to use another library like uuid. will make a PR to fix
