Google Launches Brotli, a New Open Source Compression Algorithm For the Web
Mark Wilson writes: As websites and online services become ever more demanding, the need for compression increases exponentially. Fans of Silicon Valley will be aware of the Pied Piper compression algorithm, and now Google has a more efficient one of its own. Brotli is open source and is an entirely new data format that offers 20-26 percent greater compression than Zopfli, another compression algorithm from Google. Just like Zopfli, Brotli has been designed with the internet in mind, with the simple aim of making web pages load faster. It is a "lossless compressed data format that compresses data using a combination of the LZ77 algorithm and Huffman coding, with efficiency comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods". Compression is better than LZMA and bzip2, and Google says that Brotli is "roughly as fast" as zlib's Deflate implementation.
What's the Weissman score?
You are all cows. Cows need open source compression algorithms too! Compress cows, compress! COMPRESS you open source cows!
It is a "lossless compressed data format that ompresses data
... by discarding random bits and pieces of redundant occurrences of words.

If they want to make webpages load quicker, remove ads.
is still more efficient.
Hey, Google! I have a compression algorithm that can compress any size to a single byte. I just need a little help with the decompress and we can really speed things up.
for a better user experience. The real reason is so that ad blockers will no longer work. It will no longer be web "pages", they will be "apps". The walled garden will move to the web and have the doorway sealed shut.
You are all cows. Cows say moo. MOOOOO! MOOOO! Moo cows MOOOOO! Moo say the cows. YOU BROCCOLI COWS!!
No no no... you don't understand. It's just THAT good of a ompression gorithm.
Ompression is meta Compression, the type of compression performed by Omniscient beings. It's that good.
Hosts don't work on html tags, they block sources by host-domain name (firewalls do the rest for IP address based ones)...
* Thus, this speculation of yours shouldn't halt hosts or firewalls doing what they can do vs. ads (& much more in the way of threats online) 1 bit IF I am correct here that is.

Stop making my browser run 500 trips to DNS in order to run 500 trips to every ad server in the world.
Also, for the everloving sake of Christ, you don't need megabytes of scripts, or CSS, or any other shit loaded from 50 more random domains in order to serve up an article consisting of TEXT. One kilobyte of script will be permitted to setup a picture slideshow, if desired. /Get off my e-lawn
Pied piper algorithm compression would have been a snazzier name. Just saying.
if Google was serious about speeding things up, they'd make a top 1000 list of stupid websites that load a crapton of useless scripts and ads just to present simple content across the web.
the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Brotli, Zopfli... is Google now run by Austrians, according to the Austrian nicknames?
And lossless too? I'd prefer if they lost the ads, then the compression wouldn't be needed.
From the paper:
Unlike other algorithms compared here, brotli includes a static dictionary. It contains 13’504
words or syllables of English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Russian and Arabic, as well as common
phrases used in machine readable languages, particularly HTML and JavaScript.
This means that brotli isn't a general purpose algorithm, but only built for the web, not more. I guess that future versions of the algorithm will include customized support for other, smaller languages, whose compression databases are only downloaded if you open a web page in that language.
It wants its bottleneck back. From what I can see it's plugins, scripts and adverts loading from fifty different sites that clog web pages, not large file sizes or what have you. Yes I get that compression is vital for an outfit like Google and they want to showcase what they've been doing but most websites don't have their traffic volume.

AdBlock developed a webpage compression algorithm that works much better than that. Although it simultaneously functions as a virus scanner, removing many malicious scripts and even most social engineering attack vectors, it not only doesn't slow down your computer, but rather makes pages load faster!
Don't waste your vote! Vote for whoever you want, unless you live in a swing state it won't matter anyways
Hosts don't work on html tags, they block sources by host-domain name (firewalls do the rest for IP address based ones) - & despite the FOOL who said what he did here -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... which is HIGHLY incorrect (hostnames change host providers which changes their IP address, but they recycle & reuse the hostname in malware a LOT (see "fastflux")) & MOST malware is served up by host-domain name, NOT IP address (this I know from decades of tracking both for hosts & firewall rules populations - & most any site that monitors botnets etc. can show you this much easily as proof thereof...).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
which says "This page was last modified on 27 February 2015, at 18:32."
Maybe it's just coming out of beta.
It is a "lossless compressed data format..."
As opposed to what, a lossy compression formula for data?
Well hell, if you don't need the original data back I've got a compressor algorithm that'll reduce a 50GB file to 1 byte every time. Sometimes even less than a byte, like maybe 0.25 bytes. In fact it reduces the file to such a small size that just finding it again turns out to be a real challenge...

As i understand that this new algorithm will help to get better SERP result with better speed of any website. When we create a webpage then we have more and more compressed all the files/webpages with reliability. So, I m feeling great with that about google new algo. http://www.locksmithsinscottsd...
in the light of the ridiculous amounts of cross-scripting and bulky adverts. That compression will really speed the web up. No.

How do I block your ads for "hosts"?
Yes, hosts files to block certain host names is an effective tool, but when used alone as you insist:
What about self-hosted advertising? If the spam that you want to avoid is on www.slashdot.org and the website that you want to visit is on www.slashdot.org, are you going to add "0.0.0.0 www.slashdot.org" to hosts?
How about if the website used wildcard domains and the like for advertisements? Are you ready to block all possibilities of .slashdot.org? Or are you going to have users download and run a custom DNS server?
Also, where are the Linux and OS X versions? Though, one can always use a text editor to update the hosts file.
Out of curiosity, how do resolvers scale with large hosts files on different platforms?
"lossless compressed data format that ompresses data
You've lost a "c" already.
Apk's not selling a thing. It's free so it's no ad. Spare us and stop trolling off topic troll.
See subject: You the user set it w/ good reason & You know it's happening & why
(For strengthening hosts + your system too! That's Windows own WFP/SFP @ work protecting hosts (vs. alteration by malware & my wares not that, far from it see below as proof thereof, as it saves you from those) - see subject & it's the ONLY logical fast way to do the job (it's all the system permits)).
Plus, "pats self on back":

PRINCEPS gloriosíssime, cæléstes milítiæ, sancte Michaël Archángele, defénde nos in prælio adversus príncipes et potestátes, advérsus mundi rectóres tenebrárum harum, contra spirituália nequítiæ, in celéstibus. Veni in auxilium hóminum; quos Deus ad imágines similitúdines suæ feceit, et a tyránnide diáboli emit prétio magno. Te custódem et patrónum sancta veneratur Ecclésia; tibi trádidit Dóminus ánimas redemptórum in supérna felicitáte locándas. Deprecáre Deum pacis, ut cónterat sátanam sub pédibus nostris, ne ultra váleat captivos tenére hómines, et Ecclésia nocére. Offer nostras preces in conspéctu Altíssimi, ut cito antícipent nos misericórdiæ Dómini, et apprehéndas dracónem, serpéntem antíquum qui est diábolus et sátanas, et ligátum mittas in abyssum, ut nun sedúcat ámplius gentes.
IN NÓMINE Jesu Christi Dei et Dómini nostri, intercedénte immaculáta Vírgine Dei Genetrice María, beáto Michaéle Archángelo, beátis Apóstolis Petro et Paulo et ómnibus Sanctis, et sacra ministérii nostri auctoritáte confisi, ad infestatiónes diabólicæ fraudis repelléndas secúri aggrédimur.
EXSÚRGAT Deus, et dissipéntur inimici ejus, et fúgiant qui odérunt eum, a fácie ejus.
Sicut déficit fumus, deficiant: sicut fluit cera a fácie ignis, sic péreant peccatóres a fácie Dei.
Ecce Crucem Dómini, fúgite, partes advérsæ.
Vicit Leo de tribu Juda, radix David.
Fiat misericórdia tua, Dómine, super nos.
Quemádmodum sperávimus in te.
EXORCIZÁMUS te, omnis immúnde spíritus, omni satánica potéstas, omnis incúrsio infernális adversárii, omnis légio, omnis congregátio et secta diabólica, in nómini et virtúte Dómini nostri Jesu + Christi, eradicáre et effugáre a Dei Ecclésia, ab animábus ad imáginem Dei cónditis ac pretióso divíni Agni sánguini redémptis +. Non ultra áudeas, serpens callidíssime, decípere humánum genus, Dei Ecclésiam pérsequi, ac Dei electos excútere et cribráre sicut tríticum +. Imperat tibi Deus altíssimus +, cui in magna tua supérbia te símililem habéri adhuc præsúmis; qui omnis hómines vult salvos fíeri, et ad agnitiónem veritátis veníre. Imperat tibi Deus Pater +; ímperat tibi Deus Fílius +; ímperat tibi Deus Spíritus Sanctus +. Imperat tibi Christus, ætérnum Dei Verbum caro factum +, qui pro salúte géneris nostri tua invídia pérditi, humiliávit semetípsum factus obédiens usque ad mortem; qui Ecclésiam suam ædificávit supra firmam petram et portas ínferi advérsus eam numquam esse prævalitrúras edixit, cum ea ipse permansúrus ómnibus diébus usque ad consumatiónem sæculi. Imperat tibi sacraméntum Crucis +, omniúnque christiánæ fídei Mysteriórum virtus +. Imperat tibi excélsa Dei Génetrix Virgo Maria +, quæ superbíssimum caput tuum a primo instánti immaculátæ suæ Conceptiónis in sua humilitáte contrivit. Imperat tibi fides sactórum Apostolórum Petri et Pauli ceterorúnque Apostolórum +. Imperat tibi Mártyrum sanguis, ac pia Sanctórum et Sanctárum ómnium intercéssio +.
Ergo, draco maledicte et omnis légio diabólica adjurámus te per Deum + vivum, per Deum + verum, per Deum + sanctum, per Deum, qui sic diléxit mundum, ut Filium suum unigénitum daret, ut omnis, qui credit in eum, non péreat, sed hábeat vitam ætérnæ: cessa decípere humánas creatúras, eisque æternæ perditiónis venénum propináre: désine Ecclesiæ nocére et ejus libertáti láqueos injícere. Vade, sátana, invéntor et magister omnis fallaciæ, hostis humánæ salútis. Da locum Christo, in quo nihil invenísti de opéribus tuis; da locum Ecclesiæ uni, sanctæ, cathólicæ, et Apostólicae, quam Christus ipse acquisívit sánguine suo. Humiliáre sub potenti manu Dei; contremísce et éffuge, invocato a nobis sancto et terríbili Nómini Jesu, quem ínferi tremunt, cui Virtútis cælórum et Potestátes et Dominatiónes subjéctæ sunt; quem Chérubim et Séraphim indeféssis vócibus laudant, dicéntes: Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.

Here's the blog post announcement from today, so I was surprised this wasn't a Mozilla announcement giving the timing of the article.
Starts with "bro". Where are the SJW's when you need them?
if only we had some unified app framework so that you didn't have to install a new app for every site. you could give it a little text bar at the top where you would type in the name of the app's data you want, and instead of having to have the app installed, it would just load the data FROM the source the app loads from, and then render it. you might have to add in some markup language tags here and there to help with the formatting, but it should be doable. this would save a lot on internal storage on the phone.

Do you complain of programs like defraggers & antivirus that use admin privelege? Answer that!
* You're either stupid (I know that much for a fact already) OR you're just being a troll (& you are).
APK
P.S.=> Tons of programs HAVE to use admin priveleges to operate fully & properly: THE USER SETS THAT PRIVELEGE TOO stupid - mine has to ONLY to update hosts itself
CLUE/FACT:
It's the only way to do it, due to WFP/SFP protecting hosts vs. malware!
(... & my programs PROVEN SAFE by 57 antivirus programs which is WHY MalwareBytes' folks hosts & RECOMMEND IT AS THE BEST OF ITS KIND no less)... apk
See subject: Oh, so it's ok for other programs to use admin privelege but not mine (when that's the only way to do it even manually for updating hosts files), lol!
APK
P.S.=> You fail as always - when will you EVER understand you're NOT IN MY LEAGUE in computing & that your "illogic logic" just shut you down, Pot calling a kettle black hypocrite that you are? apk
See subject & Google DoubleClick ad network abused in malvertising attacks https://blog.malwarebytes.org/...

(Google & most ALL, if NOT all, advertising networks did themselves in with shenanigans like that - those types of attacks & abuses are WHY I released my program... I held off from 2003-2012 out of respect for webmasters, but NOT after that & other reports like it from other ad networks bushwhacking users with malware!)
APK
P.S.=> What's that you said again? apk
See subject pot calling a kettle black hypocrite. You're using admin priveleges (the "holy terror" according to you no less) in a program!
* My program utterly DISPLACES THE NEED FOR ANTIVIRUS since it blocks you getting infected in the 1st place (negating the need for antivirus @ all) & then it also stops botnets from communicating with their C&C servers even IF you get an infestation...
APK

It looks like you haven't changed much, did it ever occur to you that maybe people respond the way they do because of your hostility?
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
See subject & "eat your words" hypocrite -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
To answer you: I stop malware of any kind of getting to you in the 1st place from online by blocking its sources via hosts & firewalls too (IF it's served by IP address - only like 1% are though - host/domain names are used HUGELY over IP addresses due to the ability to use them in "fastflux" botnets, recycling the host-domain names).
(Just like blocking ads gain you speed AND PROTECTION vs. things like this -> Google DoubleClick ad network abused in malvertising attacks https://blog.malwarebytes.org/... )
(To wit: You're using admin priveleges in other programs yet you say it's "so bad" in mine, which only protects you vs. threats? LOL, bullshit - & the ONLY WAY TO UPDATE HOSTS due to Windows' own WFP/SFP is to use ADMIN PRIVELEGES stupid... even if you did it manually, & you know it, numbskull troll that you are...)

* LMAO!
(I love it - Coren22 the DIMWIT outfoxes himself, admitting HE USES ESCALATED PRIVLEGES IN OTHER PROGRAMS too!)
I point out the ONLY way to update hosts to protect & speed yourself up IS to use admin privelege (which the user himself sets knowing full well why) - even IF manually done? He just "blows it off" since it shows his UTTER stupidity + hypocrisy!

P.S.=> I love shutting down these ignorant troll fools like Coren22 by letting HIM to do to HIMSELF... oh, the "bitter taste of SELF-defeat" - nothing quite like it people! I love it, lol... apk

(Yes, you do - you're a weak little hypocrite pot calling a kettle black troll that can't admit THE ONLY WAY TO UPDATE HOSTS is to use admin privelege - which YOU SAY IS 'the holy terror' YET YOU USE IT YOURSELF... lmao!)
APK
P.S.=> You are TOO stupid to live, but it's been a real pleasure kicking the crap out of you, by (lol) LETTING YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF for your lack of technical understanding of how WFP/SFP works & your hypocrisy on admin privelege use as always for trolling (1st as usual you start it, & I finish it with facts - & YOU WITH IT, easily)... apk
See subject: You're illiterate & intentionally misinterpret that you hypocrite (that uses admin privs himself no less, lol).
* You've done squat & a REAL SECURITY PRO seconds me below stupid!
(EAT YOUR WORDS, again... lol!)
APK
P.S.=> Nothing stops everything - hosts are a valuable layer in 'defense-in-depth' & even Aryeh Goretsky of NOD32/ESET agrees with me on that much -> http://it.slashdot.org/comment...
So as per your usual vs. myself? YOU FAIL (on ALL accounts no less), lol... apk

See subject: Tell us another way I could update hosts on Windows then, ok?
CLUE/New NEWS/NewsFlash:
That can't be done minus using admin priveleges!
(... & hosts updates are only a text file - mere strings THAT PROTECT YOU FROM HARM no less, which even Aryeh Goretsky of NOD32/ESET AGREES WITH ME ON, & those can't harm you (considering I get my data from 10 reputable sources in the security community itself)).
* So "big security guru" (That can't show he's done squat with valid proof from reputable sources as I use here repeatedly no less) - What HAVE YOU DONE BETTER than my program??
Zero, lol!

P.S.=> Coren22, you got spanked, spanking yourself no less, for trolling me again on EVERY ACCOUNT NOTED here http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... you technically weak wannabe & troll... apk
"So, have you figured out why privilege escalation is a bad thing yet?" - by Coren22 on Tuesday September 22, 2015 @05:15PM (#50577809)
Tell us another one, hypocrite!
FACT:
You use admin priv yourself & how else could I programmatically update hosts minus it inside Windows, hmmm?
ANSWER:
I have to do it that way, to protect AND speed up users plus make their connections online more reliable!
(The latter of which also functions to make users faster than adblocking alone, by resolving host-domain names to IP address from hosts cached in RAM locally - far faster than calling out to remote DNS & less complex + less overheads ridden vs. locally installed DNS (less power, & FAR LESS if done on a separate machine)).

Can adblock+ do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:
1.) Protect vs. malicious sites/servers (past ads)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop C&C communique
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop C&C communique
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop C&C communique
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (adds reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phish
10.) Protect vs. caps
11.) Get you past a dns blocking
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up surfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on anything webbound (ie email programs) multiplatform.
15.) Give you easily controlled data
16.) Do all that & block ads better than addons more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage
* ANSWER ="NO" to each above on ab+ doing it as well or @ ALL + hosts = already on every device natively.
APK
P.S.=> Ab+ does less than hosts & less efficiently - hosts do MORE w/ less + Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried).
---
Ab+'s 128mb memory inefficiency http://cdn.ghacks.net/wp-conte... (hosts consume 3-11mb using my program initially).
---
ClarityRay defeats it by dumping addons in use in a browser via native browser methods!
---
Ab+'s paid to not do its job http://www.businessinsider.com...
---
Ab+ adds complexity from a slower mode of operations (usermode = more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode).
