If you're dealing with SVG icons you probably know the pain of overwriting colors. There's a new spec in the making that allows controlling CSS variables from "the outside". And it's shipping in Firefox already! https://drafts.csswg.org...

If you make websites for a living, stop what you're doing and read this research by @tammyeverts.com; it shows what many of us have been saying for a long time: even if there is such a thing as "fast enough", it's generally *much* faster than you are targeting: embrace.io/blog/research-co…

Great read! These resonate a lot with me: > A Web platform without polyfills would be a stagnant platform > Without polyfills, [...], a single browser has undue power to hold back the Web > Developers being able to use web features before wide availability is a win for the Web as a whole

Newly published tests show a Chromium/Blink engine running on iOS is 28.6% faster than Safari in Speedometer page responsiveness tests. 🏎️💨📱⚡️ This is a clear example of the costs Apple imposes on consumers and businesses, costs created by its 17-year ban on competing browser engines. 🧵👇️ (1/8)

Safari 28.6% slower than Chromium on iOS. This is the tax every single user on iOS has to pay as a result of the #AppleBrowserBan www.theregister.com/software/202...

"Apple's WebKit performance tax leaves iOS browsers stuck in the slow lane, says Microsoft" www.theregister.com/software/202...

Chromium *with its own Blink engine*, running on iOS. 👀 Faster than Safari. Supports features that Safari doesn't. Presumably ships with l/v/h viewport units that are not utterly broken. And this is just a prototype. www.linkedin.com/pulse/test-d... 1/n

This has been a common theme today at #cssday and it’s true: complaining about broken stuff in browsers is a great way to get them fixed! Don’t silent. Let us know. Have a new idea: write a blog post!

I have to get me one of those "this machine kills fascists" stickers. And you should give Vivaldi a try. It's awesome.

Heading home. #cssday was an absolute blast. Tons of inspiration and a few "oh right I forgot that thing exists!" (Also a few moments where I was confronted with the fact that I may need to change some CSS 😅)

I have feelings about this upcoming "Ask to browse" feature. I get it. There's all sorts of things on the web that you don't want your kids to encounter. But lots of parents are going to toggle that thing on, and then all those kids will grow up inside Apple's Walled Garden. Apps only.

"Ultimately, Apple is playing a big game of chicken with Europe." Apple is running a PR campaign against the EU, and we need more articles like this one. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Wait the EU is not okay with Apple giving themselves a 18 month head start? Shouldn't Apple get a fair chance to lock in users into Siri AI before the competition has a chance to, you know, compete?!

Hi @jensimmons.bsky.social 👋 I have a question; we're trying to build a infinite scrolling page with video shorts. Each video is a "slide" with scroll snap. We're struggling a bit with getting Safari to do (unmuted) autoplay when the user scrolls through the slides. 1/n

> Why is Google blowing up [Chromebook and ChromeOS] for this? I'm just speculating here, but the fact that Googlebooks were announced at Google's Android Show says a lot to me. The entire point *is* blowing it up - and replace it with Android's walled garden. Ugh www.theverge.com/report/92937...

The EU's Digital Markets Act is delivering real wins for consumers in the EU, and in some cases globally. Apple and Google are opening up functionality that was previously reserved for their own products. But one glaring failure remains: browser engines on iOS. 🧵👇️ (1/23)

I just realized that this is how Big Tech is ensuring we will all have to use their AI at some point: if we can't afford our own hardware because the RAM is too expensive, we'll have to talk to their computer instead of buying one. 😅 arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...
