sorry for the late comment but we should probably recommend Uint8Array over Buffer due to it being a built-in javascript feature, now that it has base64 support

sindre has a blog post that goes in depth about this topic: https://sindresorhus.com/blog/goodbye-nodejs-buffer

example with Uint8Array + web crypto api (no imports needed):

crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(15)).toBase64();

Since the original package also uses node:crypto module I decided to keep it simple

can one of you open an issue so we can look into it?

i think you may be right and we should just use uint8arrays but lets track it in a new issue
