OS Module for Browsers (Browserify Shim)

The `os-browserify` package provides a browser-compatible shim for Node.js's native `os` module, allowing CommonJS `require('os')` calls to function in web browsers when bundled with Browserify. Its current stable version is 0.3.0, last published in April 2017, indicating an effectively abandoned release cadence. This package serves as a direct polyfill for many `os` functions, adapting them to a browser environment or providing sensible defaults or stubs where native browser APIs cannot replicate Node.js functionality. It differentiates itself by tightly integrating with the Browserify bundling ecosystem, automatically replacing the Node.js `os` core module during the bundling process, making it transparent to applications originally written for Node.js.
