The two are related. Work on Never Slow Mode stopped last fall. It picked up after the WebKit/Safari discussions last week. I doubt Chrome will ship a "never slow mode" but I see looser budgets, a la WebKit proposal.

Hi, author of the NSM patch. Still very much under development, but most of the important considerations aren't technical, and making progress on a system like this is more about how to roll things out rather than implementation.

It's great to seeing WebKit folks thinking along the same lines, and I hope to be able to discuss with them. Coalitions -- like the Mozilla/Chrome work on TLS adoption -- are critical in making progress in large ecosystems.

Is there preliminary plan of how Never-Slow Mode would be deployed? I assume the idea is to eventually have it enabled by default on all mobile devices and to prompt laptop/desktop users to enable it if they have a slow connection?
