API Interference: Bitwarden Extension Alters navigator.credentials and Breaks EtherPad Functionality

[Biggby]

Steps To Reproduce

Add the Bitwarden extension to Brave and or Chrome
Enable the Bitwarden extension in a browser (e.g., Brave or Chrome).
Navigate to a website utilizing EtherPad or similar frameworks.
Observe JavaScript errors in the browser console.

Expected Result

The expected result is the website to fully load and be able to type on the pad.

Actual Result

An error occurred
Please press and hold Ctrl and press F5 to reload this page

If the problem persists, please send this error message to your webmaster:

Error: Ace2Editor.init() error event while waiting for load event
at unknown at line -1
ErrorId: cvwMKfiSgbgNvndZHBOW

Additional Context

Some of the code lines I've seen it interfere with is:
const e = new Error(Ace2Editor.init() error event while waiting for ${t} event);
let w = new Error(Ace2Editor.init() error event while waiting for ${e} event);
navigator.credentials.create = createWebAuthnCredential;

Impact
JavaScript errors prevent EtherPad from initializing properly, making the affected websites unusable.
Other critical website functionality reliant on navigator.credentials may also fail.

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

I am running the current brave browser and I am logged into bitwarden, If you run Bitwarden Extension with Site Access set to On All Sites and go to pad.riseup.net create a pad and it should give you the error
