"use strict" breaks my javascript. Can I erase it from sentry's bundle.js?

I have an older project on Microsoft ASP(dot)NET WebForms, and their __doPostBack() function crawls up the stack to detect recursion, but this breaks on Firefox when “use strict;” is in effect (in part of the call stack?)

My question: if I crack open Sentry’s bundle.min.js and erase the “use strict”; at the start of the file, what sort of expectation should I have that this shouldn’t break anything?

(Note: an alternative may be to invoke __doPostBack from a window.setTimeout, so that it gets a different callstack, but there are a kajillion of these in my code so I would like to avoid that if possible, though maybe I can hijack and wrap that function with a setTimeout.)

Thanks for any feedback!

It may have a very slight performance impact, as it will prevent browser engines from some optimizations. You shouldn’t feel any difference though unless you modify any of our compiled code.
