Details

zopfli [1] is a deflate compatible compression algorithm that produces superior results to zip / gzip. It's possible to use this algorithm to further compress zip files, using utilities like advzip [2]. Fennec's omni.ja shrinks from 7.52MB to 7.14MB when compressed with advzip. The whole APK shrinks from 34.1MB to 33.2MB, (assuming omni.ja and classes.dex are explicitly stored without compression) [1] https://github.com/google/zopfli [2] http://www.advancemame.it/comp-readme
