Webpack newbie here, I was told by webpack cli that I needed to provide an alias for crypto as webpack no longer includes default node libraries. Now I'm getting this error, other answers haven't helped so much. crypto-browserify is trying to access process.browser. Can anyone shed more light? I was told by cli to install stream-browserify too so i did.
