Description

There is an option to compare the gzipped size. According to caniuse.com, 96% of globally used browsers support Brotli encoding.

Maybe there could also be an option for making a comparison with Brotli encoding?

Research direction
Examine how the gzipped size comparison is currently implemented in the codebase (likely in the main app.js or similar). Look for the compression function using zlib.gzip. To add Brotli, use Node.js's built in zlib.brotliCompress (available in Node 11+) or integrate a library like brotli wasm. Add a new UI toggle/button for Brotli, store the compressed size, and display it alongside the gzipped size. Update the relevant component's state and re render. Check package.json for any existing Brotli dependencies.
