Interop Unites Browser Makers To Smooth Web Inconsistencies For the past four years, major browser vendors have collaborated to improve web interoperability by coordinating enhancements to inconsistent browser implementations.

I take a deep dive into Interop 2025; why the project is there, how it picks what browser features to focus on each year, how well it's doing and what the big areas for this year are - a mix of cleaning up existing features and making sure new features arrive already interoperable

It’s concerning me how overconfident people who want Pierre Poilievre to lose are sounding right now.

It’s reminding me how sure people were that Trump would lose.

Dont let Trump win in Canada.

POLLS DON’T WIN ELECTIONS. TURNOUT DOES.

Don’t assume.

Vote.

Browsers have their established distribution channels and then they funnel people into search. Google only pays Firefox and Safari because it ends up being profitable. Chrome is much cheaper.

Search referral

Firefox has long been profitable enough to have its horrible leadership siphon off money for all these non-browser efforts, like this AI stuff and acquisitions like Pocket.

Well, that’s what the DoJ-proposed technical committee is for: to ensure that the terms of the settlement are followed. I’d have them follow the buyer as well and make sure they are working towards the health of the open web.

(This is just my personal opinion, not representing Bloomberg or Ecma or TC39 or anything)

If there is a sale of Chrome, the buyer should be required to spend at least 25% of their revenue on the core browser engine and standards development. Browsers are enormously profitable, but a new owner might try to run things for the short term.

American friends: here are some resources on how to seek asylum in Spain as a trans person under the Trump admin.

Even if your application is denied, if by then you have a legal residency permit (work, studies...), you can stay.

European Union Vulnerability Database (EUVD) by European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) is valid Option as compensation of the MITRE #CVD.

We will see, if and how this will work to address the fashists way of disruption via #Project2025

I whish all the best for #EUVD ❤️

Everyone is going crazy trying to implement software supply chain security so that they aren’t deploying code with known vulnerabilities. But with the MITRE news, that might become helpfully scoped down:

You can’t ship any new vulnerabilities if there are no more CVEs!

Crazy but not so surprising given the context. Computer security will suffer from continued degradation of the CVE system.

Various EU laws mandate the creation of cybersecurity institutions that, in principle, should play a similar role. I hope that can work.

ECMAScript Excitement 🎉

Today, TC39 advanced these proposals:

2️⃣.7️⃣ Upsert
1️⃣ Composite Keys

and withdrew Records & Tuples

Hyped for many ES proposals being discussed next week!

- Enums 🙈
- Composites
- Object.propertyCount

This little Object.propertyCount() API improvement to count object keys is so much needed
Can't believe we lived without this for so long

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

What I like about this plan is that it would preserve Ecma’s ECMAScript trademark while nullifying Oracle’s JavaScript one

I wanted to call it lakhmurder but that would be too high of a threshold tbh

Fake Breaking news screenshot with some random JavaScript code with imports and exports, and the news tag: Breaking News: Trump announces 20% tariffs on JS. The ticket below reads "JavaScript developers deemed 'DOM-estic terrorists' - "CSS @imports are next! claims top official from the..."

Oh, no!

CSS might feel like it's moving fast to you,
but i assure you, these things take forever

there's so much Chrome process, public publishing, reviews, and more that go into a feature getting into your browser

My toxic belief is that instead of defining things like genocide, they should have focused on making it a crime against humanity to kill, say, 10,000 people. Inside or outside your country, men or women or children, you’ll be hauled in front of an international tribunal if you commit decakilomurder.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

the long term consequences of choosing marketing over ecosystem can't be undone

Around 60 folks have already registered for onsite participation on the Web Engines Hackfest 2025: webengineshackfest.org#attendees
Remember that registration is still open, the same than CFP for talks and breakout sessions (onsite or remote).

This has been the biggest feature request against Promises since the beginning of time. And all the information is right there!

What kind of member functions don't bankers like?
