How can I disable Vite's SSR?

[monomadic]

Describe the bug

I have no single bug to lodge here because there are so many. SSR and Vite have made dealing with any external library a complete nightmare in SvelteKit, which is otherwise great.

How can I completely disable SSR so that I can ignore this giant class of bugs? Or perhaps there should be an effort to move away from Vite if this is not possible.

Reproduction

I've been using many libraries, but one example recently is any solana library.

Severity

blocking all usage of SvelteKit

Additional Information

I'm not a new developer, I'd consider myself fairly experienced, so if I have problems with this, and every time I crack out Svelte I have trouble I can't imagine what new users would be experiencing. I'd be extremely hesitant to use SvelteKit in production purely because of SSR issues.
