Some browsers/addons allow shortcuts for going to the next/prev page by
matching links with the word "next" or "previous"; Tridactyl is one

inline it safely to shave off a request, since the headers alone are
probably comparable to the size of the CSS.
The newish APCA contrast algorithm correctly reveals that blue-on-black
and purple-on-black links have lower perceptual contrast than
yellow-on-black links.
A Fediverse survey with 19 participants revealed that others tend to
prefer the older look over this one, but the number in favor was much

laptop screen facing sunlight with simulated color vision deficiencies,
the yellow links are indeed easier to read so I went with them.
ECT is more efficient than Zopfli given the same amount of time. It uses
Zopfli under the hood.
- Switch from binaries.tar.br to binaries.tar.gz
- Bring in the statically-linked ect/brotli binaries from

- Clarify that there's nothing wrong with adding this header to your
site if you manage your expectations and DON'T accuse others of
complicity or change upstream software
