Comment on Opera Rejecting Extensions With Minified Codeparent

Comments

More importantly, minifying has no effect on the performance of the app. (unless you're doing some smart stuff like what Google Closure does)

The Javascript engine will JIT it or at least use an intermediate representation as soon as it's loaded, rendering minified or regular code the same. Minifier helps with load times but extensions are local, (and the difference in time is really negligible this first time)
