Research direction

Reproduce requiring the latest source-map from an Electron environment, then trace the initialization path and its browser check based on fetch availability. Confirm how Node.js presence is detected in Electron; done means source-map initializes correctly there without treating Electron as a browser.

Description

feat

I want to use the latest version of source-map. However, when requiring it, it doesn't initialize correctly. The problem is that the check for the environment being a browser is the availability of the fetch function. However, in Electron fetch is available but Node.JS is also available.
