terser VS TwitchAdSolutions

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.

This next one will help us reduce final bundle size by minifying the generated code. It's called rollup-plugin-terser and uses terser under the hood to minify the code.

There are tampermonkey script(s) and ublock filter scripts that swap out the advert video with the live broadcast video (but in low res) - i have lived with that for now, esp. since i watch esports on twitch, and it sucks that i would have missed key moments of a game when an ad plays during it!

There's several ones listed here : https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions

I use the scripts (https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions#scripts) instead of the proxy solution, as i dont want to rely on a third party server to be working.

I run ads before the broadcast starts on a 5 minute "starting soon" stream" and encourage viewers to block ads with an !ads command. Look here: https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions

Is there a new solution to block ads, I used this method https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions but now it no longer works is there another work around?

Actually the modern vaft script can completely bypass ads and has seen minimal changes for well over a year. Twitch gave up because most people, even the tech savvy ones, don't know about the solutions anymore.
