Best Ruby HTTP Clients in 2023

The Best Ruby HTTP clients for 2021
Have you had a play with typhoeus by any chance? It's a wrapper over libcurl, so you get OS threads for free - which is kind of nice.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Savon and Typhoeus you can also consider the following projects:
Faraday - Simple, but flexible HTTP client library, with support for multiple backends.
httparty - :tada: Makes http fun again!
RESTClient - Simple HTTP and REST client for Ruby, inspired by microframework syntax for specifying actions.
excon - Usable, fast, simple HTTP 1.1 for Ruby
HTTP - HTTP (The Gem! a.k.a. http.rb) - a fast Ruby HTTP client with a chainable API, streaming support, and timeouts
Patron - Ruby HTTP client based on libcurl
Http Client - 'httpclient' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl (LWP) in Ruby.
