The curl network backend is only used by WinCairo, which is not actually used by anybody except as a basis for proprietary WebKit ports. So you're probably not interested in it. It was abandoned for a long time, but now it's being maintained by Sony.

The other backends are libsoup (used by WebKitGTK+ and WPE) and Core Foundation (for macOS, iOS, and Apple Windows).

The details of where brotli support has to be implemented will vary for each of the three different network ports. E.g. for libsoup the current plan is to not support brotli in libsoup itself, due to limited adoption, so it may have to be implemented in WebKit if that plan does not change. That's https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788418.
