Google introduces new Brotli compression algorithm, offers a 26% improvement over other methods
Google has introduced a brand new compression algorithm for the internet that’s said to be about 26% better than anything else that’s currently available. Google already uses their own compression for certain photos in supported browsers, including the photos on the web version of the Play Store, so this isn’t the first time the search engine has dabbled in making the internet more efficient.
The new compression algorithm is called Brotli, which is German for “small bread.” Not only will it shrink the size of data on the internet, which is great for anyone monitoring their bandwidth usage, but it should theoretically be much more efficient for processors and batteries. That’s good news for your smartphone and laptop, especially if you browse the internet often throughout the day.
