Firefox can now advertise that it can support zstd as a compression algorithm to web servers, which means websites can use it for Firefox users.

The impact for the user is pretty limited, it basically just means some sites might load slightly faster, but it's probably not going to be noticeable. The bigger impact is on website hosting.
