"HTTP proxy service that extends the life of mobile data plans by compressing responses in-flight between origin servers and client browsers."

so this is part of the google mobile strategy.

"Flywheel is integrated with the Chrome web browser and reduces the size of proxied web pages by 50% for a median user."

is there any implementation of this outside chrome, OS?



I am the tech lead on the Flywheel proxy. The feature is currently launched for Chrome on Android, iOS, and desktop (including ChromeOS). There is no plan to implement this outside of Chrome.
