Description

Hey excellent work with thruster, just some questions.

1- Why don’t use brotli instead of gzip to compress the assets? https://caniuse.com/brotli

2- Given we use hotwire (HTML over the wire), Wouldn’t we have any benefit in also compressing HTML response?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by tracing Thruster's existing gzip asset compression and HTML response handling, then determine whether Brotli support and HTML compression are in scope. Done requires a documented decision or an accepted change addressing both questions.
