+# minified css/js at no measurable cost, and falls back to the mod_deflate block above for
+# clients that do not announce `br` - which is also what happens wholesale if the module is
+# missing, because the whole block is then skipped.

+# The type list is deliberately the same one mod_deflate gets: `no-gzip` below switches gzip
