QUIC support Topic is solved

[Peregrine]

I've recently read about the new protocols Google's been working on (SPDY, HTTP/2, QUIC).
HTTP/2 seems to have been implemented since Pale Moon 27 (see wikipedia ) -just mentioning this because old posts such as viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7439 initially led me astray-
SPDY has been made obsolete since the introduction of HTTP/2 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPDY) so is no longer relevant.
QUIC though (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC is, as far as I can tell, not yet supported in pale moon.
Perhaps it could be supported (if not now, then when it's completely finished). It seems to have quite a lot of benefits over tcp (faster, more secure).

Besides implementing support in the pale moon browser, I'm also wondering whether additional gentoo packages would need to be downloaded/installed to be able to use it everywhere (quic, like tcp and udp is used in much more programs than just the browser, so perhaps a separate package needs to be downloaded too, or does each individual program just need to be given quic support, but no separate package needs to be installed for it ? )

I'm sorry but Google-specific and experimental transport protocols are not in any way attractive for us to implement. SPDY was present because HTTP/2 was not yet standardized at the time. QUIC doesn't seem to provide anything useful on top of HTTP/2, and adoption is (predictably) limited to Google servers and clients (Chrome).

(P.S.: HTTP/2 is not a protocol Google was working on. it is a standardization of what ended up being based on SPDY (with some controversy about the decision-making process there too) but has very little to do with Google.)
