HTTP/2 makes the browsing experience of high-latency connections a lot more tolerable. It also makes loading web pages in general faster.

Luckily, HTTP/1.1 still works. You can always enable it in your browser configuration and in your web servers if you don't like the protocol.

HTTP/3 does that in my experience (lots of train rides with spotty onboard Wi-Fi) quite a bit better though. As HTTP/2 is still affected by head-of-line blocking and a single packet loss can block all other streams, even if the lost packet didn't hold data for them.
