Description

I saw this and though, nobody is using phantomjs. it's a headless browser that no real user is using. it was based on webkit and the development have been discontinued. think you should remove this kind of things and instead use something like puppeteer or something.

https://github.com/less/less.js/blob/eefe33a47f6fdcc228817df7435a1770ce9e51ea/packages/less/src/less-browser/index.js#L49-L56

PhantomJS is depricated and should not be used anymore.
