Compression Streams are now supported by all major browsers

web.dev 

“The Compression Streams API is for compressing and decompressing streams of data using the gzip or deflate (or deflate-raw) formats.”

“Using the built-in compression of the Compression Streams API, JavaScript applications do not need to include a compression library, making the download size of the application smaller. This useful API is now supported across all browsers.”

For more information on web streams, see the chapter on them in “Shell scripting with Node.js”.
