I think this is comparable to Opera Turbo, which also runs on iOS and Android. Opera Mini stripping gives even better compression but breaks js apps / complex sites.
There is a russion reverse engineered firefox plugin which enables Opera Mini support on desktop operating systems. The Opera Mini server is not commercially available or open source las time I checked.
I wonder if and how a PPM based compression proxy would be doable and if it improves existing browser compression support like opera turbo, mini or the google chrome solution.
I once was somewhere where there was only an abolutely minimal wifi connection with a latency and very low bandwith ( < 1 KB/s. Opera mini was still slow but worked wonders, where a regular browser was basicly unusable.
> The proxy service with the closest design to ours is Opera Turbo [9]. Although Opera has not published the details of their optimizations or operation, we performed a point comparison of Flywheel and Turbo’s data reduc- tion gains, and found that Flywheel provides comparable data reduction.
