Reproduction

Is this okay?

Hmm, it basically comes from fetch-blob@v3 that started depending on web-streams-polyfill

That is where it all came from...

@MattiasBuelens someone here thinks you polyfill is huge (i do too)

$ npm pack web-streams-polyfill

With a weekly 20,513,553 download of node-fetch that is like
1_232_068 * 20_513_553 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 22.9866529 TiB extra to downloaded from npm every week 🙃

if we unpack this tgz file on the HD with that ~7 MB of data that is like
6660000 * 20_513_553 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 124.25540533513413 TIB of Data that fills up the worlds hard drive every week

he provides a number of different build versions (es5,6,2018) cjs esm etc

All we really need is one of those files.
that is like 27.4 kb

[jimmywarting]

web-stream-polyfill@4-beta reduced from 7.56 MB to 402 kB 🚀
Going to test it in fetch-blob to see how it works tomorrow maybe. Promise i would get back with a review of how the new version works

Progress is being made!

Could we get a status update on this. 3.2.0 still contains the >7mb dependency.
