Description:
The html5shiv, matchMedia, domready and classList polyfills were deprecated in Drupal 8.8 and are removed in Drupal 9.0 because they are no longer required by any of the browsers supported by Drupal core.
- html5shiv polyfill is deprecated
- matchMedia polyfill is deprecated
- domready is deprecated
- classList is deprecated
For sites that need to support older browsers, the contrib html5shiv module and matchmedia module provide identical replacements to the core libraries.
