DESCRIBE YOUR PR

This PR addresses issue CHANGELOG-81, where ReferenceError: Can't find variable: __firefox__ and ReferenceError: Can't find variable: DarkReader were reported on the /changelog/:slug pages.

The root cause was identified as third-party scripts injected by the Brave browser on iOS (which is based on Firefox iOS). These scripts attempt to access window.__firefox__ and DarkReader, which are not always defined in the page's execution context, leading to ReferenceError.

To resolve this, ignoreErrors patterns have been added to the Sentry.init configuration in src/instrumentation-client.ts. This prevents these specific, non-application-related errors from being reported to Sentry, reducing noise and focusing on actual application issues.

LEGAL BOILERPLATE

Look, I get it.

So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms.
