366559 – Brotli Accept-Encoding/Content-Encoding

And the NGINX module that does it has been open sourced: https://github.com/cloudflare/ngx_brotli_module
The kinda awful fix was to add support for the compression variant nobody uses (deflate?) to Googlebot so that its accept-encoding header matched the common one.
It would be ironic if adding this header to Firefox wrecked their page load performance for wikipedia!
The nickname of a tool doesn't matter, so minimizing potential conflicts makes sense.

[0] See the explanation at http://www.clisp.org/impnotes/faq.html#faq-menorah-why which starts off with "it's not political" and then provides multiple links to pro-Israeli websites.
Were they lying or something?
Perhaps you think the feminist viewpoint in this case is objectively correct and therefore deserves more consideration. In that case I would counter that the pro-Palestinian viewpoint is objectively correct. But my original argument was neutral on this issue.
[0] A relationship usually asserted to exist by the supporters of Israel, as is the case here.
That said I think the current trend of limiting not just insults but whatever can possibly be construed as an insult by anyone, -that might not be a smart move in the long run. Especially as some people seems very good at getting insulted.
From (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366559#c147):
“I received a series of 'bro' jokes in response to my posting about this new feature.”
This proves that the name “bro” actually has significant meaning for many people, some of which find it a bad thing. This would be unnecessarily distracting, so it should simply be replaced with something like br, btl, bli or bti.
Save your outrage for when the solution actually has a downside of any significance.
But this is not the part why people are pissed. If this would be the only reason then everybody would be fine, but before your quote the guy wrote:
> "bro" has a gender problem, even though the dual meaning is unintentional. It comes of misogynistic [...]
And this reasoning is just tumblerlina-SRS-gamergate-outrage-bullshit. People are not pissed because of the change of the extension but by the ridiculous reason given in the bug report.
They should have just stated that ".bro" might result in acceptance problems in large corporate culture and everybody would have understood this. But stating that .bro has a gender problem is just crazy.
In cases like this, much of the outrage stems not from dissatisfaction with any particular solution, but from people being offended that the concern was taken seriously at all.
No doubt the same people who snickered at the name of the Nintento Wii and Apple iPad.
That said, the commenters stereotyping of "bro"s as misogynist is offensive in and of itself. I know MANY bro's who treat women with respect. Stereotyping any group of people is hurtful and wrong.
