      What problem are you facing?

      When importing ObjectId from bson browser throws "Uncaught ReferenceError: await is not defined" at nodejsRandomBytes

      What driver and relevant dependency versions are you using?

      mongo 5.0

      node v16.20.2

      Steps to reproduce?

      Create a web app project with parcel or vite

      Install the mongo 5.0 as a dependency

      Import ObjectId from bson and use it on the client side

      The browser will throw an error from nodejsRandomBytes

      Uncaught ReferenceError: await is not defined
