Do any user agents still use gquic? People still use old phones but pretty rarely old versions of chrome.

- gsnedders 6y agoPretty sure Chromium/Chrome/derivatives still support gQUIC.
- jefftk 6y agoThere hasn't been any Intent to Remove, and it was mentioned in https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/K3rYLvmQUBY/m/vOWBKZGoAQAJ https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/K3rYL..., so yes I think it still supported. On the other hand, since this set of vulnerabilities seems to be about passive fingerprinting by intermediaries, what actually matters is how much traffic is still running gquic, right? And I think most servers have moved over to HTTP/3? (Disclosure: I work for Google, speaking only for myself)
- gsnedders 6y agoGiven gQUIC was never _that_ broadly deployed (mostly Google and a few CDNs, IIRC), I can't imagine it would be overly significant to disable. Last I knew there were some Google properties still using gQUIC, but that was a while ago.
- jlokier 6y agoCurrent versions of Chrome still use gQUIC for most instances when talking with gQUIC-capable servers such as Google and Youtube. Just checked, mine used version Q050 just now. Of course, there are many versions of gQUIC, some more like IETF QUIC than others as they are transitioning parts of the protocol in stages. Version Q050 is the pre-TLS version. As it's used between Chrome and Youtube, a lot of the world's internet traffic is over gQUIC at the moment.
