Description

I do get an 'Uncaught ReferenceError: process is not defined' error in Chrome since version 0.5.15. It seems to be caused by issue #255, commit a64d497 line 362 in source-map-support.js Chrome Version 78.0.3904.97 (Official Build) (64-bit) node 10.5.0/10.17.0 Problem did not occur for me in FireFox, Edge, Safari. Only in Chrome.
