Questions
Why isn't MD5 included?
Browsers' built-in Web Crypto API doesn't offer MD5 because it is broken for security use. SHA-256 is the usual choice.
Should I hash passwords with SHA-256?
No. Use a slow, salted algorithm such as Argon2, bcrypt or scrypt on your server.
Is the text hashed as UTF-8?
Yes. The same text gives the same hash as sha256sum or Node's crypto on a UTF-8 file.
