Google has said it has intent to ship Brotli compression to Chrome Browser, and availability is restricted to HTTPS connections.

That link got a bit mangled. Try this

They say that if it goes over HTTPS only then you won't have proxies getting in there and mangling the code. Interesting. Looks like it would make things faster.
