That's not true.  ob_gzhandler is extremely browser-dependant since it
needs to check to see if the browser sent an appropriate accept-encoding
header.  Some of the early IE versions sent accept-encoding: gzip but
didn't correctly implement it, so you can run into problems if you use
ob_gzhandler with certain older browsers.  It is fine for all the recent
releases though.
