I just tried building and running it. Surprisingly many websites already load fine, though Youtube doesn't and Vimeo/Reddit comment section crashed it. Still, the results are quite encouraging! It takes ~6GB of HDD to build it.
I've recently been wondering: could you re-compress gzip to a better compression format, while keeping all instructions that would let you recover a byte-exact copy of the original file? I often work with huge gzip files and they're a pain to work with, because decompression is slow even with zlib-ng.
I worry that 7-Zip is going to lose relevance because lack of zstd support. zlib's performance is intolerable for large files and zlib-ng's SIMD implementation only helps here a bit. Which is a shame, because 7-Zip is a pretty amazing container format, especially with its encryption and file splitting capabilities.
