# Minify Javascript ignores Exclude Scripts

 * I’ve got critical scripts in the Exclude Scripts option.
 * Yet Debloat is still applying Minify to the script, and then breaks the script.
   There seems to be no way around this problem other than to exclude a script from
   getting Minify’ed.
 * The option is called “Minify all the deferred or delayed JS files” but doing 
   more than that. It’s modifying scripts that are NOT being deferred or delayed.
 * This is confusing and I say a bug. If I assign scripts to be excluded, they should
   be modified.
 * What’s my options for getting Debloat to stop applying Minify to scripts?
