Brotli is a compression tool made by Google, mainly for fast web compression.
But it may also be useful for Desktop use, do you use it?
An issue requesting its implementation into Kinoite is here
What do you think? I will test it and compare against .7z and some others.
update:
- the
file
utility cannot read brotli archives as they dont have a “magic signature” indicating the file type
- because of that
libarchive
does not support brotli
- because of that,
ark
and the GNOME equivalent dont have support
The Google issue is from 2019 so yeah they dont care. zstd
is way more primising
