Googlebot Supports Brotli Compression

Gary Illyes from Google has confirmed that Googlebot does indeed support Brotli compression. Brotli is a data format specification for data streams compressed with a specific combination of the general-purpose LZ77 lossless compression algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modelling. Brotli is a compression algorithm developed by Google and works best for text compression. Google的Gary Illyes确认Googlebot确实支持Brotli压缩。Brotli是一种数据格式规范，用于通过通用LZ77无损压缩算法，Huffman编码和二阶上下文建模的特定组合压缩的数据流。Brotli是Google开发的一种压缩算法，最适用于文本压缩。

Gary said on Twitter he spoke with the Googlebot team and they confirmed with him that Googlebot does support this compression format. 加里（Gary）在推特上说，他与Googlebot团队进行了交谈，他们与他确认Googlebot确实支持这种压缩格式。

More importantly, the tweet looked incredibly tasty:

Brotli is fairly new, it was initially released on October 15, 2013, with a stable release only on October 28, 2018. You can learn more about it on Github. Brotli相当新，它最初于2013年10月15日发布，仅在2018年10月28日才发布稳定版本。您可以在Github上了解有关它的更多信息。
