extensions VS terser

TTV.LOL is apparently the program that it uses to block ads. You can find their official site here and their source code is here.

I can't speak for everyone, but as of now (11-19-21) the TTV-LOL extension for Firefox is successfully blocking ads for me. If this changes, I'll endeavor to update/remove this post.

If you'd like a truly ad-free experience with no interruptions, it seems the only option is using a proxy to get a playlist from a country where Twitch doesn't serve ads. TTV.LOL can facilitate this. It's probably even possible for someone to modify Streamlink's Twitch plugin to make use of TTV.LOL's API to get an ad-free playlist in Streamlink, but I'm not a programmer, so I wouldn't know how to do that. I can't imagine it'd be very difficult however.

try TTV-LOL or Purple-adblock || no compromise of low quality during ads

The server is currently down, this happened a few weeks ago too. https://github.com/TTV-LOL/extensions/issues/46

TTV LOL hasn't been updated for over a a year, so it seems unlikely that it got fixed somehow. https://github.com/TTV-LOL/extensions

These projects use Caddy as my local development server, Dart Sass for converting my Sass files to CSS, elm, elm-format, elm-optimize-level-2, elm-review, elm-test (only in Calculator), ShellCheck to find bugs in my shell scripts, and Terser to mangle and compress JavaScript code.

During my intial search i came across some outdated libraries like javascript-obfuscator and uglify-js(as if javascript code can get any uglier, am I right?). Then, I stumbled upon Terser, a modern library that supports ES6.

Example: You've got a main.js file that's as long as a Tolstoy novel. Fix: Use tools like UglifyJS or Terser to minify your code. They'll squeeze out all the unnecessary bits and give you a sleeker, faster-loading file.

They can do it, it is just turned off by default and require more advanced configuration.

Minifying is a common practice for optimizing production code. (for example, using Terser to minify and mangle JavaScript).

Minification: UglifyJS, Terser

Terser is JavaScript compressor that can minified specific method names.

Every release build of React Native uses terser to reduce the size of your JavaScript. And it operation can be omitted for Staging/Beta builds.

A minifier makes your code more compact so that it loads faster. Popular minifiers: Terser, swc.

There are many minifiers such as terser and uglify. But, because minifying also require to parse the JS, it is actually possible to use esbuild and SWC to minify the code. Here's a benchmark of the main minifiers.
