What do you think about the protection of distributed code?

Can we add webpack plugins to solve this problem?

Extensions with obfuscated code are not allowed on the web store

svyatoslavratov commented 1 year ago

@mattbrannon okey. But the extension can be distributed without the store

Personally, I wouldn't trust an extension with obfuscated code. Why not just minify it?
