Speedometer 3.0: A Shared Browser Benchmark for Web Application Responsiveness
> Is it though?
In my experience it's the buggiest browser out of the big three, and is often missing basic features like e.g.:
https://caniuse.com/?search=opus
Supported in Firefox for *12 years* now, in Chrome for 10, still no support in Safari.
They only "support" Opus audio in their special snowflake '.caf' container, which is super buggy and the last time I checked no open source program could even generate Opus '.caf' files that could be played by Safari on all Apple platforms. I ended up writing a custom converter which takes a standard '.opus' file and remuxes it on-the-fly (I only store '.opus' files on my server) into Safari-compatible '.caf' files, taking special care to massage it so that it avoids all of their demuxer/decoder bugs. You shouldn't have to do this to have cross-browser high quality audio!

Streaming HTML out of order without JavaScript
Seems like browser support is pretty universal, even says so in the article
> All browsers support streaming HTML
And the caniuse is promising: https://caniuse.com/?search=slot
Well I'll be! In my mind I had this clear picture of Firefox implementing it.
It correct, it was only Chrome: https://caniuse.com/?search=html%20import

IPissed: Apple is after web capabilities to protect close to 100B App Store Tax
https://caniuse.com/?search=web%20bluetooth
which might be great because you have the choice...
and you can use open source chromium or brave (like the jvm to run cross platform java) to run web apps seemlessly that need web bluetooth or such but use safari or firefox for personal use if you find them more secure
I mean using chromium engine as the running environment where chromium only ever runs special trusted web domains and never goes to other "malicious" web domains that may fuck up iOS as Apple claims would be still a secure choice
like you will not download spyware from Apple Store because you are an adult not because Apple can protect you there

WebAssembly Playground
I'm developing a wasm game, and currently I am targeting WebGL2 in order to run in iOS Safari.
Me (and others, I'm sure) are currently waiting for WebGPU [1] to land in Safari so it will make sense to target it.
WebGPU allows for simplified porting of desktop apps to the web, such as WGSL shaders [2]
WebGPU will be the next big thing, and currently it is enabled on Chrome Windows/macOS, and can be enabled in Firefox Nightly with a config setting.
Hopefully, 2024 will be the year of WebGPU!

Why Isn't the <HTML> Element 100% Supported on CanIUse.com?
> a lot of the data on the site actually comes from MDN
Eh... not really.
The feature support matrix (as linked on CanIUse) comes from the browser-compat-data repo. Here's the HTML element's source data: https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/blob/main/html/el...
This doesn't contain the testing and usage info that CanIUse cites for support, though, just which browser versions included which features.
CanIUse also points to their own repo, which contains a lot of data: https://github.com/fyrd/caniuse
But I can't find an easy entry point to find where they're getting the numbers for a specific element. The data on there seems to be primarily for features.
So the more precise question is, where is CanIUse getting HTML element testing and usage numbers from? Because that seems to be the issue.

The web just gets better with Interop 2024
I meant across all browsers since Interop is about raising the bar on all browser capability.
Right now, no other browsers support those features.

Apple Announces Changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
> A new version of Safari shipped 17 times in the last 28 month
> Yes, not as frequent as monthly releases, but Apple shipped 7 Safari updates on iOS in 2023.
That's a very recent change: prior to 2022 Apple had far fewer updates to Safari on both macOS and iOS - and still witholds Safari updates from older iOS versions - for example, there was only 1 macOS Safari update per year between 2008 and 2015, and only 2 updates per year from 2015 to 2022; while things were just as sparse on iOS.
The data is all here: click on the "Date relative" view on any of the items on https://caniuse.com/?search=webkit

Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.
Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).
A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.
Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

Higher fees, more ads: streaming cashes in by using the old tactics of cable TV
It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.
It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.
Adguard [1] is a decent free option.
I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.
