Still no love for JPEG XL: Browser maker love-in snubs next-gen image format
There is popular demand (including from Adobe https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop/issues/430#iss... ), which is arguably evidence against (2).

AV1 video codec gains broader hardware support
Microsoft Edge does support AV1, but weirdly only through a Microsoft Store extension [1], even though Chrome has support built-in. This actually really sucks because in practice hardly any normal consumers would bother to install a strangely named extension, and so web developers have to assume it's largely unsupported in Edge. Safari ties support to a hardware decoder, which I suppose is understandable to avoid accidental battery drain from using a software codec, and means eventually in some year's time support can generally be relied upon when enough new hardware is in use. But that won't happen with Edge as things stand!
I think it's high time the web had a single audio and video codec choice that was widely supported, which is why I've proposed support for AV1 and Opus for the Interop 2024 effort [2] [3].

Adobe proposes JPEG XL for interop web platform tests
This is the comment to read:
https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop/issues/430#iss...
It got me drooling for JPEG XL like I never did for WebP or HEIC.

InterOp - what can we actually expect this year?
The Interop group describe this focus area as: "enable testing for font stack capabilities and enable additional expressiveness with vector color fonts. (Font feature detection and palettes)".
-
What new CSS and JavaScript features can we expect soon? Or is it all unexpected?
I would say that overall InterOp 2022 went well, they completed most of what they planned to do. Of the 15 focus areas, 13 focus areas had an InterOp score of over 80%.

Pluralistic: Web apps could de-monopolize mobile devices (13 Dec 2022)

Make sure you tap more comments to see the examples.
The number one issue for building native like apps is this https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop/issues/84
It has been buggy for as long as I can remember and never been fixed.
Not to mention the 10 years of issues with indexeddb or the issues with WebRTC.

Apple's claim is that it bans other browsers for security
Open Web Advocacy has been very clear that they want competition on iOS, not Chrome specifically. The reason being that the absence of competition is currently allowing Apple to deteriorate the web experience on iOS, preventing the web and web apps from competing with native apps. Their objective is to lift these artificial limitations imposed by Apple and free the web.
OWA members have actually been actively reporting WebKit bugs and interacting with the Safari team to help prioritise features and bug fixes on Twitter and elsewhere, showing the goal is to improve the overall web experience on iOS, not let Chrome to become dominant. Here is one of their detailed bug report: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop-2022/issues/84.

Apple Is Not Defending Browser Engine Choice
Container Queries and Subgrid are only available in Safari Technology Preview, not stable, and Firefox has actually been supporting Subgrid for more than 2 years. Because CQ is not supported by either Chrome of Firefox, it will be at least 2 years before we can start actually using it.
It would have been much wiser for Safari to catch up on the dozens of features they don't support that both Chrome and Firefox do, or to focus on bug fixes for the most basic features that's been broken for years. Instead, they chose to ship shiny new ones to try and convince both regulators (from the EU, UK, US, etc) and web developers that they are leading the way in feature adoption. Unfortunately this seems to be working to some extent in the web devs community. Regulators are unlikely to fall for it though.
Here is the 7 years old scrolling bug I'm referring to, which prevents any decent implementation of modals in Safari on iOS: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop-2022/issues/84
Here you can see that Safari has 5 times more API failures (representative of both missing features and bugs) than Chrome, and 3 times more than Firefox: https://wpt.fyi/

Building a realtime chat app with Next.js and Vercel
Before we start creating pages in our application, it's important to understand how Next.js renders content. The framework supports multiple rendering methods including server-side rendering (SSR), static site rendering (SSG), and client-side rendering (CSR). There are many pros and cons to each rendering method (too many to cover in this post) so if these concepts are new to you, Google’s web.dev site has a very good introduction to rendering on the web that can help you understand rendering options.

How hard has code splitting been in your experience?
Probably not, it's the CSS used so far, so if there are elements you've not interacted with, that's an issue. This web.dev article gives some tools you can use https://web.dev/articles/extract-critical-css

Google have removed RSS support from their developer blogs
I noticed the same for Google's site https://web.dev/
The last article pushed to the feed was "Changes to the web.dev infrastructure" few months ago https://web.dev/blog/webdev-migration
The feed still there but with no updates https://web.dev/feed.xml and on the site you can see new articles published.
Is sad that on a infrastructure revamp of a modern site, the RSS feed was left out of the features list (at least for now).

How do websites have a prompt on unsupported browsers?
Upon testing on Firefox and Mi Browser, there was no triggering of the BeforeInstallPrompt event, as expected. However, I noticed that web.dev manages to display a prompt on these browsers, even though they theoretically lack support for the BeforeInstallPrompt event.

Progressive vs. Incremental Rendering/(Re)Hydration
In a old web.dev articleI came across the word "Incremental (Re)Hydration" which is linked to a Glimmer.js-Blog post (also called "Incremental Rendering" there) confuses me. Is Incremental (Re)Hydration the same as Progressive (Re)Hydration? Reading the Glimmer-Blog article it seems so, but in the web.devarticle it seems to be something different.
