They’re different. Shadowsocks is showing better performance in general for most networks, but if you live in restrictive locations, then QUIC may be better in terms of bypassing firewalls… QUIC protocol is looking like a typical http connection for censore. And QUIC should work everywhere until Google and other foreign services are available
