The new algorithm of data compression to make Chrome even faster

Very soon, the Google Chrome browser will load pages much faster than it is now. This will be possible thanks to a new data compression algorithm called Brotli.

Brotli - this is a new compression algorithm for Web data, which runs on 20-26% more efficient than the previous development from Google called Zopfli. This is evidenced by comparative testing of different compression algorithms, with which you can read here.

As the record the blog of one of the developers of Chrome, Brotli is almost ready for use, and will soon be included in the stable version of the browser. So that Chrome users over time can experience a significant increase in web page loading speed. This technology also helps to reduce the volume of data transmitted, which can not fail to please the users mobile version of the browser.

If you have the developer build Google Chrome, you can activate the new algorithm now. To do this, type in the address bar chrome: // flags # enable-brotliAnd then select the menu next to this setting to "On".
