Relatively to itself, HTML Minifier Next is by now 4–6 times faster than when the project started (and, therefore, its predecessors).
This comes on top of many improvements.

As a millennial born in 2000 in Gaza, I feel this deeply. We’ve seen tech go from a promise of connecting us to the world, to a tool used to monitor our every move, and then simply switched off when we need it most. It's no longer about innovation; it’s about control and extraction

Israel’s war on Gaza has made genocide an accepted weapon of war. We’re already seeing it in Sudan.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza set a global norm that views extermination as a ‘natural’ part of how nations and paramilitary groups wage war. We are already seeing this in Sudan.

Justice does not end when memory fades — it begins when law confronts impunity. As January 29 approaches, we enter our third year of legal #resistance. Genocide is the attempt to erase. Our work and your continued support ensures erasure is impossible.
