Based on this compatibility information, given that IE 11 is now *explicitly* unsupported, we should no longer need to bundle a `URL` polyfill in any builds: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/URL#browser_compatibility Note that the caveat listed for older Safari-versions doesn't apply to any code in the PDF.js library, since we never call `new URL(url, undefined)` in the code-base. Note also that Node.js has a web-compatible `URL` implementation, which according to the "History" section at https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_the_whatwg_url_api has been available since Node.js `10.0.0` (according to https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/ that branch is one month away from being EOL-ed).
