  1. Forcing Google to sell Chrome could end up being a disaster for the web. Who is going to spend Google-y amounts of money on a browser, the underlying Chromium engine, the DevRels, the infrastructure? x.com/OpenWebAdvocacy/status/1875094053613862932
  2. So it turns out Chromium has caught up with Safari when it comes to battery life. birchtree.me/blog/everyone-says-chrome-devastates-mac-battery-life-but-does-it-i-tested-for-36-hours-to-find-out/
  3. Web developers: You need to watch this. The web needs to win this fight. youtube.com/watch?v=0XwWVjQOmyg Or, because the talk is pay-walled [1], read (all of) this: * infrequently.org/2024/08/the-landscape/ * infrequently.org/2024/10/platforms-are-competitions/ [1] but you will be supporting Web Conf A'dam 📷 #perfnow

  8. Adobe's usePreventScroll() hook takes ~8 lines of code to prevent scroll on every browser - except for iOS Safari - that one takes 163 lines, many of which are comments trying to explain what the f*ck is happening. webventures.rejh.nl/blog/2024/history-of-safari-show-stoppers/#anchor--2016-body-with-overflow-hidden-css-is-scrollable-on-ios #AppleBrowserBan

  9. Your CSS reset should be layered 👇 mayank.co/blog/css-reset-layer/
  10. EU to Apple: “Let Users Choose Their Software”; Apple: “Nah” Great read ✨ eff.org/deeplinks/2024/10/eu-apple-let-users-choose-their-software-apple-nah
  11. A must-read for anyone doing web development (or is even remotely involved in doing a web project). The web is losing, and it's losing bad. We need to do better (and we need regulators etc to get Apple, Google and Facebook to not suck). toot.cafe/@slightlyoff/113346554300095442

  13. #Interop could use some more transparency 🫥 x.com/OpenWebAdvocacy/status/1844287618764390634
  14. David Pierce, on the Vergecast: "The new Google Pixel Buds web app is a web app! [...] You can update the *firmware* on your *bluetooth* headset through a web app. That is a thing that is possible to do. [You] can do it anywhere and this is how it should work everywhere." 1/n
  15. This Interop proposal could use some 👍s github.com/web-platform-tests/interop/issues/788
  16. Web Push on iOS was launched ~1.5 years ago! 🥳 Since then, Apple has done < checks notes > nothing to implement any of the (many) missing Notifications API features 🙄 [1] webventures.rejh.nl/blog/2024/web-push-ios-one-year/ 1/n
  17. I love how Gruber makes it sound as if you could shoot a $75-million-budget movie with just the iPhone that's in your pocket. Have you seen the rig they used?? Gruber has: pca.st/1mnlwur6?t=3057,3151

  18. This week's reading list! (yes, also shameless self-promo) brucelawson.co.uk/2024/reading-list-326/
  19. Gruber: "Because native-to-the-platform apps are inherently better [than web apps]. They look better, work better, and adhere to platform design and functional idioms far better." elk.zone/mastodon.social/@gruber/113199820516483796 His website, on a mobile phone:

  22. 🪲 An Abridged History of Safari Showstoppers Updated with two new bugs: • 2020: Add Fullscreen API to iOS (& display fullscreen) • 2021: Safari shipped blob.stream(), crashes with a NULL pointer exception webventures.rejh.nl/blog/2024/history-of-safari-show-stoppers/ 1/n

  25. Submit your proposals for Interop 2025 📢 web.dev/blog/interop2025-proposals?hl=en #Interop2025
  26. Funny how the EU version doesn't mention, I dunno, FORTNITE It's amazing how some people would rather have Apple features that only Apple can do and that only work with Apple devices (and literary have to buy into the lock-in at whatever price Apple comes up with)

  27. In the EU, Apple will replace the Safari icon in the dock (the "hotseat") if the user chooses a different default browser. Gruber then basically explains why this is a good thing, but draws the opposite conclusion. 1/2

  28. Hilarious. This can't have been a bug. It requires extra code to hide the setting in certain conditions. 1/2 x.com/OpenWebAdvocacy/status/1832090349441020346
  29. "A release note for the web platform" Sounds like the monthly updates on web[.]dev (which are amazing) but more focused (no "noise" from other posts, more focused on what's actually available everywhere instead of feature X in browser Y) 💖 patrickbrosset.com/articles/2024-09-04-a-release-note-for-the-web-platform/
  30. 🫠 👈 me, literally

  31. This all just sounds like Apple is deliberately changing the rules (and replacing them with even more ridiculous - but also more confusing - rules) during an EU investigation, just to delay the inevitable. For a monopoly, delay is winning. theverge.com/2024/8/9/24216181/apple-eu-app-store-services-fee-external-links
