Google's new Brotli compression algorithm beats Zopfli by up to 20 to 26 percent



The Brotli Compression Algorithm is an open source algorithm. It is developed by Jyrki Alakuijala and Zoltan Szabadka. It is data compression library. It is very close in speed to deflate but it is more efficient in comparison.
Brotli can be used in version 2.0 of the Web Open Font Format. Here we can find github library
It is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm. It  use combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 to compresses data, Here is some note for Brotli
The Brotli algorithm, is just like 'small bread' in Swiss German, it produces tiny compressed files and then use other current algorithms, It has 20-26 % higher compression ratio  than Zopfli.

It produces tiny file than Gzip, Where Gzip is most popular comparison algorithm for compressing Web content sent to a browser.
