This is a major set back introduced with HTTP/2 and I'm not sure why this is not mentioned often.

Under firefox you can set "network.http.sdpy.enable" to false to switch back to HTTP/1.

The improvement I have with HTTP2 is hardly noticeable, but HOL blocking is very tangible as soon as you have occasional random packet loss.

Thanks! I might have to try that out, currently relegated to tunneling everything over sshuttle which of course makes things slower but reliable since it decompiles the TCP packets making them appear to work flawlessly to HTTP... HTTP1 may be a faster solution.

[edit]

Trying this now. Correction on parent comment for Firefox:

  goto:
  about:config

  search:
  network.http.spdy.enabled.http2
