This pull requests continues where #925 leaves off.

Changes from that PR:

• Checkout existing PR and rebase with current main branch.
• Remove unused arraybuffer-equal dependency from prior PR.
• Minor tweaks to following formatting conventions in current project.
• Run npm run add-contributor and follow the prompts to add yourself to the README

Notes:

• I am open to corrections and changes. I have only somewhat familiarized myself with the project.
• I was unable to run the tests successfully from the main branch, making it difficult to debug this feature branch.
• I had difficulty using nps, namely isolating individual scripts for debugging. I found commands to run via npx.
• In order to build the project locally, I needed to use NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider.

  # example
  NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider npx webpack --config webpack.config.cjs
