JS-Confuser vs. JavaScript vs. Mobian vs. ProGuard Comparison Chart

JS-Confuser is a powerful, open source JavaScript obfuscation tool that transforms your source code into a highly unreadable form, deterring reverse engineering, tampering, and unauthorized reuse while preserving full functionality. It offers multiple obfuscation techniques, including variable renaming, control flow flattening, string concealing, and function obfuscation, along with locks such as domain-based or date-based execution constraints and integrity checks to detect runtime modifications. Designed for flexibility, it provides obfuscation presets, ranging from 10 to 21+ transformation layers, and also allows fully customizable configurations to suit performance and protection needs. The tool operates entirely in the browser for fast, private obfuscation workflows, and includes advanced tooling features such as a playground for interactive experimentation, customizable options via JavaScript, integrated code prettification, and debugging support.

Mobian aims to integrate the standard Debian distribution with the Phone Shell (phosh) project in a package that works on certain mobile phones, such as the Pinephone. Over time, the idea is to minimize the Mobian specific pieces by “upstreaming” customization to the original projects. Mobian comes with Phosh, the Phone Shell by Purism. It is based on well known modern Gnome technology like GTK, GSettings and DBus running on a wlroots based wayland compositor called phoc. Mobian aims to integrate the standard Debian distribution with Phone-specific projects and modifications in a distribution that works on certain mobile phones and tablets, such as the Pinephone, the Pinetab and the Librem 5. The idea is to minimize the Mobian specific pieces by “upstreaming” changes to the original projects as much as possible. To achieve this, we tread a delicate balance between carrying customized patches and packages that are required to make Mobian run well on its supported devices.
