Ah, I see. I’d never thought of the possibility of using a dictionary not created specifically from the given input dataset, heh

- mbreese 2y agoAdmittedly, I don’t think it is common, but I think there was a project a few years ago (Google?) that tried to compress HTML using at least a partially fixed dictionary. Nowadays though, it’s apparently still something that’s being tried. Chrome now supports shared dictionaries for Zstd and Brotli. One idea being, you would likely benefit from having a shared dictionary used to decompress multiple artifacts for a site. But, you many not want everything compressed all together, so this way you get the compression benefit, but can have those artifacts split into different files. https://developer.chrome.com/blog/shared-dictionary-compression https://developer.chrome.com/blog/shared-dictionary-compress...
