Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install brotli on Fedora 34.

What is `brotli`

Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression. brotli 1.0.9 4.fc34 x86_64 321 k brotli-1.0.9-4.fc34.src.rpm fedora Lossless compression algorithm https MIT Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods.
