Things might've changed since then, but back in 2009 it was Chromium who disabled bzip2 compression after some ISPs were borking bzip2-compressed pages[1] (although it's mot entirely clear if it was indeed the reason for dropping bzip2), not the other way around. Later in 2016 this was mentioned as being the reason for limiting brotli compression to HTTPS only[2]. [1]: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=14801
[2]: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=452335... So while I agree that it would be nice if everyone respected a "living standard", my hopes for middleboxes to comply are not high. |
