SDCH

SDCH (Shared Dictionary Compression for HTTP) is a data compression algorithm created by Google, based on VCDIFF (RFC 3284).

SDCH achieves its effectiveness by using pre-negotiated dictionaries to "warm up" its internal state prior to encoding or decoding. These may either be already stored locally, or uploaded from a source and then cached.

It was supported natively in Google Chrome, Chromium, and Android, as well as on Google websites.[1][2]

SDCH compression was removed from Google Chrome, and other Chromium products, in version 59 (2017-06-05).[3]
