I'm not sure if a typeof window === 'undefined' check is the correct one in this case. It also works on native apps? What about personal nodejs projects? There are infinite use cases here that aren't covered just by checking if windows is defined.

Good point about apps! What would you suggest as an alternative? A config option called “allowPrivate”?

Seems fine! Default it to false to keep the previous behavior and add it do our docs.
