'HTTP/3, the next major iteration of the HTTP protocol, is getting a
big boost today with support added in Cloudflare, Google Chrome, and
Mozilla Firefox. From a report:

Starting today, Cloudflare announced that customers will be able to
enable an option in their dashboards and turn on HTTP/3 support for
their domains. That means that whenever users visit a
Cloudflare-hosted website from an HTTP/3-capable client, the
connection will automatically upgrade to the new protocol, rather than
being handled via older versions. On the browser side, Chrome Canary
added support for HTTP/3 earlier this month. Users can enable it by
using the Chrome command-line flags of "--enable-quic
--quic-version=h3-23". In addition, Mozilla too announced it would
roll out support for HTTP/3. The browser maker is scheduled to ship
HTTP/3 in an upcoming Firefox Nightly version later this fall.'
