"Quick"
A general transport-layer protocol, out of Google, published 2013.
Chrome uses this to communicate to Google's webservers.
Other browsers have some support, currently (2020-2021) still disabled by default for the most part.
Aims to improve connection-oriented webapps using multiplexed UDP connections.
This works together with [[HTTP2]] which has multiplexed connections.
It is formally part of the [[HTTP3]] draft standard, instead of TCP.
