Cloud storage is a limited resource, and thus it
makes sense to support data compression before
sending the data to cloud storage.
A new hidden setting allows to toggle on
cloud storage compression:
name: cloudStorageCompression
default: false
By default, this hidden setting is `false`, and a
user must set it to `true` to enable compression
of cloud storage items.
This hidden setting will eventually be toggled
to `true` by default, when there is good confidence
a majority of users are using a version of uBO
which can properly handle compressed cloud storage
items.
A cursory assessment shows that compressed items
are roughly 40-50% smaller in size.
The Promise chain was not properly designed for WASM module
loading. This became apparent when removing WASM modules
from Opera build[1].
The problem was that errors thrown by fetch() -- used to
load WASM modules -- were not properly handled.
[1] Opera refuses updating uBO if there are unrecognized file
types in the package, and `.wasm`/`.wat` files are not
recognized by Opera uploader.
