-## Node
-
-You only need this polyfill in Node before v11.
-However, you can use `Buffer` to provide the same functionality (but not conforming to any spec) in versions even older than that.
-
-```js
-require('fast-text-encoding');  // just require me before use
-
-const buffer = new TextEncoder().encode('Turn me into UTF-8!');
-// buffer is now a Uint8Array of [84, 117, 114, 110, ...]

-
-In Node v5.1 and above, this polyfill uses `Buffer` to implement `TextDecoder`.

+If your project doesn't need the polyfill, but is included as a transitive dependency, we publish [an empty version](https://www.npmjs.com/package/fast-text-encoding/v/0.0.0-empty) that you could pin NPM or similar's version algorithm to.
