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

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
If ads, in particular on YouTube, are the problem, anything Chromium-based is probably only going to get worse and worse (see [1] and [2]). So that basically leaves you with Firefox and Safari.
I work for Mozilla (speaking for myself, of course), so I'll leave you to guess which I'd recommend :P

Mozilla thinks Apple, Google, Microsoft should play fair
What are the compelling advantages of Chrome nowadays?
Chrome is working to limit the capabilities of ad blockers:
https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2023/11/chrome-pushes...
Whereas a compelling advantage of Firefox is that uBlock Origin works best in Firefox:
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...
Advertising networks have often been vectors for malware. Using an ad blocker is an important security measure. Even the FBI recommends ad blockers:

Brave Leo now uses Mixtral 8x7B as default
> It allows for 30,000 dynamic rules
That is not what we mean by dynamic filters. From https://developer.chrome.com/blog/improvements-to-content-fi...
> However, to support more frequent updates and user-defined rules, extensions can add rules dynamically too, without their developers having to upload a new version of the extension to the Chrome Web Store.
What Chrome is talking about is the ability to specify rules at runtime. What critics of Manifest V3 are talking about is not the ability to dynamically add rules (although that can be an issue), it is the ability to add dynamic rules -- ie rules that analyze and rewrite requests in the style of the blockingWebRequest permission.
It's a little deceptive to claim that the concerns here are outdated and to point to vague terminology that sounds like it's correcting the problem, but on actual inspection turns out to be entirely separate functionality from what the GP was talking about.
> Giving this ability to extensions can slow down the browser for the user. These ads can still be blocked through other means.
This is the debate; most of the adblocking community disagrees with this assertion. uBO maintains a list of some common features that are already not possible to support in Chrome ( https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b... ) and has written about features that are not able to be supported via Chrome's current V3 API ( https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-as... ). Of particular note are filtering for large media elements (I use this a lot on mobile Firefox, it's great for reducing page size), and top-level filtering of domains/fonts.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
> "Its happened before"
> That's not an argument
It's a subheading to "2. Browser engine monopoly". The subsection's purpose is describing how bad things were during the IE monopoly to reinforce that it's something to be avoided.
> in fact you could counter-argue that IE left a lot of technical debt
That would be agreeing with the article, unless I understand what you mean.
> On top of that, the internet was very different back then.
In a way that now makes it harder for truly new competing engines to pop up due to increased complexity of the web.
> I'm still not convinced, why would I change my browser?
The points made in the article are:
* Increased privacy, opposed to willingly giving your data to an ad-tech company
* Helps avoid a browser engine monopoly which would effectively let Google dictate web standards
* It’s fast and has a nice user interface
Onto which I'd add:
* Content blockers work best on Firefox (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...), doubly so when Manifest V3 rolls out
* Allows more customization of interface and home page
* UX improvements, like the clutter-free reader mode, aren't vetoed to protect search revenue as with Chrome (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37675467)

How Many Lines of C It Takes to Execute a and B in Python?
If you have no knowledge you can still make use of element picker in the context menu. In this case though the problematic element will have a generated class name like `frontend-components-SubscribePrompt-`, so I resorted to the CSS syntax (`##`). There are a lot, a freaking lot of them [1] but the CSS syntax alone can achieve a lot.
