Thank you all for your help in refining the compression dictionary spec. Chrome 130 released to stable with support for the latest draft (ungated - no longer an experiment). Both Brotli and ZStandard encodings are included. The current release enables dictionary support only for secure contexts where the certificate is rooted in a well-known trust root (i.e. disabled for MITM intercepts/proxies). Once there are enough impactful sites using it that we expect IT teams will notice the breakage even if they don't test for it directly we will remove the trust root restriction. There will still be a short-term enterprise policy to allow for disabling it until vendors fix their implementations but the goal is to force that to happen. If you're interested in trying it out or have any questions, don't hesitate to ping me. On a related note, if you are interested in helping review the shared brotli stream format draft (which is a blocker for the compression dictionary draft to be published), if you could send a review to Francesca this week it would very much be appreciated. This one is an informational draft that documents the stream format used by brotli with an external dictionary and the main concern is to make sure the draft contains everything someone would need to create or consume shared brotli streams. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-vandevenne-shared-brotli-format/ Thanks, -Pat
