Odd discussion about brotli compression on The New Media Show. For what it's worth - Podnews uses it for our RSS feed, and Spotify is updating us just fine.
The way compression works: your browsersays "Hey! Give me your RSS feed! I understand gzip and brotli!" - and then my server (I use Cloudfront) gives you a brotli version.
If your browser doesn't understand brotli, you won't ask for it in the request - and if if doesn't want compression at all, that's cool too: it won't ask.
npub1ta3cuyrlw828clw5n0dg7efxzjfh80frr4zxmzjq0lgqcdfaertqz29zk5 (npub1ta3…9zk5) you're made of money if you've not turned compression on your RSS feeds! A saving of 80% bandwidth isn't unusual. There's absolutely no downside to doing it.
