Why building another image optimization tool?

I have tried:

• Squoosh - Best of all, but do not support batch optimization and unlikely to be in near future
• @squoosh/cli - Do not work for me and no longer maintained :(
• Caesium Image Compressor - First option appears on alternative.to, but functionality really limited (5 files a time and do not support converting formats)
• tinyXXX(Insert image format here) - Those creepy webpages really make me feel reluctant to upload my images to their sites

Good thing is that squoosh is open-sourced and I can build my own version easily

Known issues

• Browsers with dynamic import or canvas disabled (E.g. librewolf) will not work
