<!--your preparation HTML code goes here-->

Script Preparation code:

function bytesToBase64ByBtoa(bytes) {
    return btoa(bytes.reduce((data, byte) => data + String.fromCharCode(byte), ""));
}

function bytesToBase64ByBtoaSpread(bytes) {
    return btoa(String.fromCharCode(...bytes));
}

const bytes1K = new Uint8Array(1024);
const bytes32K = new Uint8Array(32768);
const bytes64K = new Uint8Array(65536);
const bytes1M = new Uint8Array(1048576);
for (const bytes of [bytes1K, bytes32K, bytes64K, bytes1M])
    for (let i = 0; i < bytes.length; i += 65536)
        crypto.getRandomValues(bytes.subarray(i, i + 65536));
