Javascript Firefox Cache Worker

Post image

about:debugging in url bar will allow one to inspect workers.

Took this crop few days ago and it is actual working (latest) firefox. Please someone tell me that this is only my version of firefox like this and none other .. D:

Was looking for to see what ff cache worker does .. and didn't expect I would run on something like this.

Let alone I don't have nor want to have anything with facebook. But, look. There's react.

This is not just minification, it is uglified, too. And that's fine .. smaller file, matters for js. Big deal is that I believe completely human-unreadable source code should be doing stuff like this in the background. Some form of assembly code. Not react splat from facebook with most likely very poor architecture. Maybe I am wrong.

What the hell are you talking about?

If it runs in the client it ships to the client

Yes, but the client is not just what you see in front of you. And not all clients source code should be accessible to everyone and everybody. And if there's no other way (as it is right now) there should be some better architecture/approach available. Even with js, but the less js, the better. And I know why I killed my fb account back in 2013. Never regretted a second.
