UUID Generator

Generate version 4 UUIDs

UUID v4 – the "random" version. Your browser's native `crypto.randomUUID()` makes these by filling 122 bits with pseudorandom noise and slapping on some version/variant flags. The chance of collision is about 1 in 5.3×10^36. You're more likely to be hit by a meteorite while winning the lottery. Twice.
