WIP
I think the best way to approach this is ejecting and using an updated version of uglify that can handle es6 code. This is because js-ipfs libs don't transpile code and webpack ends up importing es6 code that uglify can't handle.
Another way is manually making a list of packages that have to go through babel before reaching webpack but this means we still have to eject and also if js-ipfs deps change it could break our build.
As of right now, I ejected and changed webpack configuration to use an update uglifyjs. I also disabled compression and mangling because one of them or both were causing issues in the build. I need to further investigate what is the problem so that we can get the most optimized result without issues
