Extremely reducing the size of NPM package
Minifiers are used to reduce the size of the bundle. They can remove unused code, shorten expressions, and so on. And Now there are already several popular minifiers, and they continue to appear: more familiar ones - written in JavaScript - Terser and UglifyJS, even Babel has its own version of the minifier, there are also more modern SWC (written in Rust) and ESBuild (written in Go), and a bunch of other lesser-known minifiers. And I recommend you to look at this repository. It contains up-to-date test results of various popular minifiers.

Minify and Gzip (2022)
This minify/gzip size effect is a well known quirk to developers of javascript minifiers. The minifier's symbol mangling algorithm often has a more pronounced effect than does advanced AST optimization.
This website has real life data on the matter for popular libraries:
* https://github.com/privatenumber/minification-benchmarks
Compare the trophies indicating smallest size for Minified versus Minzipped (gzip). Generally the smallest minified size yields the smallest minified+gzip size, but there are some notable anomolies outside the range of statistical noise. It is not practical for a javascript minifier to take a compression algorithm into account - it would blow up the minify timings exponentially.

Overview of the next-gen frontend dev tools
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.

How to improve page load speed and response times: A comprehensive guide
Minification involves removing unnecessary characters, whitespace, and comments from code files. It helps reduce HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc., file sizes without compromising functionality. Removing redundant elements makes these HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files smaller. Since smaller code files need less internet traffic to transfer, they load faster. Utilizing tools like UglifyJS, Clean-CSS, and HTMLMinifier enhances this process of code reduction. They analyze the code, remove redundant code, and generate optimized files for deployment.

JavaScript and CSS minification.
In my understanding, UglifyJS 3 is the most popular JavaScript minifier tool presently -- it has a very high weekly download too. And as per the official documentation, it supports ES6.

Enhanced noise suppression in Jitsi Meet
I'm thinking reverse-engineered uglified js code (https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS) is not as impenetrable as code from reversed engineered wasm binaries? The element of plausible deniability is much more potent though, for the nefarious actor on the other side.
