Current Behavior

When running web3.js in the browser via a react app served with snowpack I get this error:

Expected Behavior

Should be able to polyfill buffer using rollup.

Steps to Reproduce

npx create-snowpack-app react-snowpack --template @snowpack/app-template-minimal
cd react-snowpack
yarn add web3
echo "import web3 from 'web3'" >> index.js
echo "const web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum)" >> index.js

• Edit package.json and set snowpack version to 3.8.6
• Add polyfillNode: true to the packageOptions array in `snowpack.config.mjs'
• Run yarn start

Web3.js Version

1.7.3

Environment

• Operating System: NixOS
• Browser: Firefox
• Node.js Version: 18.1.0
• NPM Version: Yarn 1.22.18
