    The solution in the post is 4 lines: (bold icon) Bold (⌘B) Only one of those lines is the tooltip element. If you're comparing to the title attribute, it's one additional line, and…

    Unstylable, incorrect semantics, doesn't appear on hover, only supports text content.

    Thank you! I switched from Prism to https://shiki.style/ recently to enable that, and allow VSCode-style wrapping (where it wraps to the indent, rather than the start of the line).…

    Yes! It might lie or hallucinate. But also, all browsers claim to be "Mozilla/5.0" in their user agent string. It's a very similar problem.

    It's fun that I get to be called both "anti-AI" and an "AI shill" by people on the internet depending on the day of the week.

    Thank you for posting this. On interoperability, time will tell I guess. I've only been working on Firefox for a few months, but general interop issues are way worse than I realise…

    Aww thanks for saying that! I've been doing little videos on https://www.youtube.com/@FirefoxWebDevs (and accounts of the same name, pretty much everywhere). Although they're desig…

    Agreed. Maybe Google will propose a CSS text formatting property that cannot be used on paragraphs that are critical of the US administration. Like, that sounds daft, but it's not …

    I think the objection here is unrelated to the love or hate of LLMs. It's about the viability of this particular proposed open web API. I personally use LLMs for coding assistance,…

    Aww thanks! To be fair I didn't toe the party line when I was at Google (imo). Although, that caused me increasing amount of grief internally, until I left. From what I hear, thing…

    Sigh, when I posted this, I linked to https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1213#i... (which was posted 11 hours ago). Unfortunately someone changed the link.

    The Chrome model requires either "16 GB of RAM or more and 4 CPU cores or more" or "Strictly more than 4 GB of VRAM", and "22 GB of free space" (it uses around 4.4GB but it doesn't…

    A lot. My scores: - 0.0028 on my MacBook pro screen - 0.0045 on my Dell monitor - 0.0033 on my Pixel 10 pro And those scores are pretty consistent.

    Fwiw, JPEG XL takes around 2.5x the time to decode as an equivalent AVIF, and has worse compression https://jakearchibald.com/2025/present-and-future-of-progres...
