@Qix- also ran into this issue, basically older versions of react-scripts, a dependency of create-react-app, don’t support ES6 when minifying and can confirm that using debug@3 works in this scenario. For anyone else the latest versions of v1.x and v2.x branches of create-react-app work with ES6 dependencies out of the box.

I have tested by creating a default CRA app, installed this module (4.1.0), used it in the code and ran build command and everything seems to be working fine. The build package generated successfully. If you haven’t changed the file (browser.js), try cleaning the node_modules folder and install again.
