We left brotli out initially because there is relatively large unmanged component and it is available in the browser directly. We could in theory make it work now when the workload is installed without increasing the default size.

@Xyncgas can you explain your use case so we can help prioritize this issue?

[Xyncgas]

I can use brotli in browser by sending bytes to javascript and as you know there's a bunch way in javascript to eat brotli, alternatively I can just write brotli myself or install a 3rd party library or I can simply not use brotli

So I don't really... well actually I have an app, that works on MAUI.Blazor but not blazor webassembly, so I used brotli, now I want to put it on the web, you know how MAUI and the browser are all cross platform technology, I should be able to use brotli and it's now the moment for me to decide the compression algorithm otherwise after I release the application everyone's data would break if I change the algorithm but don't worry about it

I simply wanted for .NET to give me brotli so I don't have to grab it somewhere or not use it

+1 for this issue. thanks

I've added BrotliStream in a library to compress/decompress data files after seeing in the documentation that is supported in .net6 & .net8.
Only to find out that the library will not work when I use it on the web and I am getting 'ManagedError: System.IO.Compression.Brotli is not supported on this platform.'

Is this planned to get fixed?
