'Improve Backend Response Time

On doing analysis on improving back-end response time. I come across several ways you can reduce the time. One is the response returned from the back-end to be of protobuf format instead of Json.

Questions

 1. Does all the browsers able to translate the protobuf messages?
 2. Does protobuf is been supported by all HTTP servers - apache, play, tomcat?
 3. Postgres has JSon column type. Does any DB has protobuf column type?

Other says Apache Thrif is the best for improving the back-end response time which uses a different mechanism than protobuf message

Please help me to understand better
