  const cs = new CompressionStream('deflate');
  const writer = cs.writable.getWriter();
  writer.write(byteArray);
  writer.close();
  
  const arrayBuffer = await new Response(cs.readable).arrayBuffer();
  return new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer);
}

async function decompress(byteArray) {
  const ds = new DecompressionStream('deflate');
  const writer = ds.writable.getWriter();
  writer.write(byteArray);
  writer.close();

  const arrayBuffer = await new Response(ds.readable).arrayBuffer();
  return new TextDecoder().decode(arrayBuffer);
}

since this is a non-trivial replacement, it probably belongs in the preferred manifest.

the package isn't low quality or anything, so some people may want to stay on it for the sake of having a simpler/higher level interface.

also iirc compression streams can be gzip too which would be a more equivalent choice i think

Yeah, also checked and it might be not that simple to replace it so will wait for now
