switch to uglifyjs alternative

Which alternative? What is the driving force behind wanting to switch?

[hipstersmoothie]

Terser. Reason for switching? I was using ignite and uglify was breaking my prod build

Off the top of my head the only other source aware minifier I can think of is the Google Closure Compiler. That would definitely break more than uglify, so it isn't a good option. Maybe switching to just whitespace only optimizations would do the trick?

The mangle: false option in uglify might also resolve the issue

webpack is switching to terser so that why it was my go to webpack/webpack#7923

Oh I thought you said Terser as in you were going to say the next sentence in a Terser way. I did not know that was a thing.

As in "Reason for switching?" is a terser way of saying "What is the driving force behind wanting to switch?"
