I remember reading articles about how 3G connectivity was going to transform performance and, more generally, the way we used the internet altogether. To be fair, each new generation of network connectivity does bring some level of change and transformation to how we interact with the internet. We’re still nowhere close for 4G.

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. However, it is extremely challenging to actually deploy them at Internet scale.
