Brotli engine

Unread post by jeikobu614 » 2016-01-26, 13:42

Is Palemoon will be using new Brotli engine?? I'm asking because on the web they say, that engine will give some speed improvements in page loading, so it would be good if PM will be updated to use this new engine :)

It's not an engine by the way, it's just a compression library. It doesn't really do anything but provide stream compression for network traffic (similar to what is already supported by Pale Moon, just using a different algorithm)

"Brotli is in use in Pale Moon", as you already told us, but "network.http.accept-encoding" still says "gzip, deflate". I tried to change it to "gzip, deflate, br", but sites that support brotli showed nothing but a blank page. So, will brotli be used not only for WOFF2, but for HTML, CSS and scripts?

No, it's not (yet) used for http encoding, that will have to be ported from Firefox 44.
