Script Preparation code:

function generateRandomString(length) {
  const randomValues = new Uint8Array(length);
  window.crypto.getRandomValues(randomValues);
  const randomChars = Array.from(randomValues, (value) => String.fromCharCode(value));
  return randomChars.join('');
}

const text = generateRandomString(1000);
console.log({ text })

Tests:

String.prototype.at
const chars = [] for (let i = 0; i < text.length; i++) { chars.push(text.at(i)) } console.log(chars)
String.prototype.charAt
const chars = [] for (let i = 0; i < text.length; i++) { chars.push(text.charAt(i)) } console.log(chars)
String.prototype.split
const chars = text.split('') console.log(chars)
String.prototype.substring
const chars = [] for (let i = 0; i < text.length; i++) { chars.push(text.substring(i, i+1)) } console.log(chars)
String.prototype.slice
const chars = [] for (let i = 0; i < text.length; i++) { chars.push(text.slice(i, i+1)) } console.log(chars)
for-loop
const chars = []; for (let i = 0; i < text.length; i++) { chars.push(text[i]); } console.log(chars)
spread operator
const chars = [...text] console.log(chars)
Array.from
const chars = Array.from(text) console.log(chars)
