- JyrkiAlakuijala 8y agoAlways look for third party benchmarking. High quality benchmarks can be found at lz turbo or from encode.ru
- JyrkiAlakuijala 8y agoOne reason might be that browser manufacturers are not keen to have a decompression that might allocate 128 mb per connection.
- klodolph 8y agoJust get browsers to implement it, I think by the time Zstandard was open sourced, there was some browser support for Brotli already (probably because Google controls a major website, a major browser, and the standard library for a major OS). Timeline: Zstandard was released August 31, 2016. By that point, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera already had Brotli support. Safari and Edge got it shortly afterwards.
- khaled 8y agoI think browser support for Brotli is mostly a side effect of supporting WOFF2 font format (which uses Brotli).
