Looks like zstd has been added to the HTTP Content Coding Registry, see https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-parameters/http-parame...

(or section 6.2 of the linked RFC)

Oh, that's great. Then a matter of browser support I guess!

Mozilla has a bug here (about Transfer-Encoding): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1477516

Couldn't find any mentioning zstd in the public Chrome, WebKit, or MS Edge issue trackers.
