Upgrading to vite 3.1.4 - Module path has been externalized for browser in Chrome

Describe the bug

In a project I am currently using vite 2.9.15 and everything is working fine. When i upgraded to vite 3.1.4, I now get the following warning in Chrome: browser-external:crypto:9 Module "crypto" has been externalized for browser compatibility. Cannot access "crypto.randomBytes" in client code. It seems to be coming from importing bcrypt in a file but why is it throwing this warning after upgrading to the new vite version.

I have double checked this to make sure its the vite version causing issues by creating a new branch.

Any advice for what you think might be happening is appreciated!

Reproduction

Install the latest version of vite and import bcrypt
