Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

Firefox Webserial Addon
You can read through the conversations to understand more of the context
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/100#is...
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/95#iss...
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/336
The main struggle is around giving informed consent that explains the risks. Understandably, browsers don't want to ship a "Set my printer on fire" button.

iOS404
You can check why Mozilla and Apple have opted to not support this.
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/154
https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/28
Neither Mozilla or Webkit are satisfied that the proposal is safe by default, and contains footguns for the user that can be pretty destructive.

Show HN: DualShock calibration in the browser using WebHID
FWIW Mozilla updated their position on Web Serial API to "neutral" and clarified that they might be okay with enabling the API with an add-on.
https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#webserial
Allowing serial but not HID would be really strange. With HID you get standard identifiers that let you filter out devices that are too dangerous for the web. With serial you get nothing. Even if you know a device is dangerous, there's no way to protect users from it.

Tailwind CSS v4.0.0 Alpha
Hasn't FireFox been dragging their asses on @scope? https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/472
It took years to just convince them of the need for it. And I'm not sure anyone got convinced vs Chrome had already shipped it and Safari has it planned so they caved in.
Hard to believe FireFox used to be a leader of the modern web.

An HTML Switch Control
As mentioned by others, OK idea, but not a fan that this isn't standardized. After a quick search+peruse, these seem to indicate that it's not around the corner either. Happy (/hope) to be corrected.

Platform issues which disadvantage Firefox compared to first-party browsers
Mozilla's position on these specs is nicely outlined publicly and transparently as part of their standards-positions project: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/100
I'm kinda glad it's not implemented in my browser, to be honest, because the whole thing seems like a security nightmare.
It's a shame it impacts some hobby usecases, but I don't think this outweighs the reasoning set out on the GitHub issue.

What Progressive Web App (PWA) Can Do Today
This should have big warnings on it. Some of these are not web standards; they are features implemented unilaterally by Google in Blink that have been explicitly rejected by both Mozilla and Apple on privacy and security grounds.
Take Web Bluetooth, for example:
Mozilla:
> This model is unsustainable and presents a significant risk to users and their devices.
— https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#web-bluetooth
Apple:
> Here are some examples of features we have decided to not yet implement due to fingerprinting, security, and other concerns, and where we do not yet see a path to resolving those concerns
— https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention/
This is Microsoft’s Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish bullshit applied to the web platform by Google. Google keeps implementing these things despite all other major rendering engines rejecting them, convinces people that they are part of the web, resulting in sites like this, then people start asking why Firefox and Safari are “missing functionality”. These are not part of the web platform, they are Google APIs that have been explicitly rejected.

Reason to Use Firefox Is Sync That Works
I took a glance at Can I Use what the difference between the last public release of Firefox and Chrome is [1] and they don't really have that big of a difference in the eyes of normal use-cases? Some of these aren't implemented purely because of privacy reasons, the proposals aren't finished yet or complexity [2].
Why would Firefox need to change to Chromium engine? The only websites I notice that don't work with Firefox is because of user-agent targetting or just putting 5-second time-outs in Youtube code on non-chrome webbrowsers [3].
Can you give some examples of websites not working on Firefox?
