This is a blog post for my future self as a reference for what I learned by googling and reading around the topic of networks and HTTP2.

In general, the web has a couple of issues today that people try to fix:
- Performance -> Slow websites, either on mobile devices, remote areas or bloated web apps themselves
- Data usage -> There are still countries where people pay for bytes that go over the air
- Power consumption -> The power consumption has direct link to CO2 emission, which data centers try to keep low
- Privacy -> Is the web secure? Is your privacy secure?
Lets deep dive into the technical world... (photo from http://gratisography.com/ )
