LL-HLS removed HTTP/2 Server Push from the spec back in January: https://mux.com/blog/low-latency-hls-part-2/ This was driven by poor server + client support at large, and the complexity it introduced. LL-HLS

Agree - I do think they have something novel with Workers, but with the upsides (small overhead, SW-like API, WASM) comes downsides (poor native multi-lang support, JS API drives other languages). But this announcement is all “man behind th
