Nalezeno "Browser": 601

What happens when you open a new install of browsers for the 1st time?

27.9.2019
Interesting research from Jonathan Sampson, where he watches the network requests a browser makes the very first time you launch it on a fresh install, and otherwise do nothing. This gives you a little insight into what kind of information that browser wants to collect and disseminate. This...

Browser Engine Diversity

24.9.2019
We lost Opera when they went Chrome in 2013. Same deal with Edge when it also went Chrome earlier this year. Mike Taylor called these changes a "Decreasingly Diverse Browser Engine World" in a talk I'd like to see. So all we've got left is Chrome-stuff, Firefox-stuff, and Safari-stuff. Chrome...

UX Considerations for Web Sharing

20.9.2019
From trashy clickbait sites to the most august of publications, share buttons have long been ubiquitous across the web. And yet it is arguable that these buttons aren’t needed. All mobile browsers — Firefox, Edge, Safari, Chrome, Opera Mini, UC Browser, Samsung Internet — make it easy to share...

How Web Content Can Affect Power Usage

18.9.2019
Because we know that all people with battery-powered devices are constantly concerned about their battery levels, and that websites are significant consumers of that battery power, we should probably think about this stuff a lot more than we do. I'd expect the browser itself to be our main ally...

Two Browsers Walked Into a Scrollbar

18.9.2019
Surprise: scrollbars are complicated, especially cross-browser and cross-platform. Sometimes they take up space and sometimes they don't. Sometimes that is affected by a setting and sometimes it isn't. Sometimes you can see them and sometimes you can't unless you're actually scrolling. Styling...

Overflow And Data Loss In CSS

17.9.2019
"Data Loss" is a funny term. My brain thinks of like packet loss on the way from the server to your browser, resulting in missing content in files. Perhaps it is that on some level, but in CSS parlance, it has to do with the overflow property. Too much content for sized container + hidden overflow...

A Proof of Concept for Making Sass Faster

17.9.2019
At the start of a new project, Sass compilation happens in the blink of an eye. This feels great, especially when it’s paired with Browsersync, which reloads the stylesheet for us in the browser. But, as the amount of Sass grows, compilation time increases. This is far from ideal. It can be a real...

BCH Microblog ‘Member’ Shows the Future of Reddit-Like Forums

16.9.2019
Since the Bitcoin Cash upgrade in May 2018, software developers have unleashed a slew of microblogging protocols that utilize OP_return transactions. One application called Member is a BCH-based browser that makes use of these types of transactions and the extra space added to the data carrier...

(Why) Some HTML is “optional”

16.9.2019
Remy Sharp digs into the history of the web and describes why the <p> tag doesn’t need to be closed like this: <p>Paragraphs don’t need to be closed <p>Pretty weird, huh? Remy writes: Pre-DOM, pre-browsers, the world's first browser was being written by Sir...

Some HTML is “Optional”

11.9.2019
There is a variety of HTML that you can just leave out of the source HTML and it's still valid markup. Doesn't this look weird? <p>Paragraph one. <p>Paragraph two. <p>Paragraph three. It does to me, but the closing </p> tags are optional. The browser will detect...

Caniuse and MDN compatibility data collaboration

10.9.2019
Second only to "silly GIFs," I'd guess screenshots of caniuse are the most common slide graphic at web conferences. It's become the ultimate source for looking at web compatibility data in the hearts and minds of web developers. Can I use CSS filter in Firefox? Yes. Can I use the filter() function?...

Multiline truncated text with “show more” button

4.9.2019
Now that we've got cross-browser support for the line-clamp property, I expect we'll see a lot more of that around the web. And as we start to see it more in use, it’s worth the reminder that: Truncation is not a content strategy. We should at least offer a way to read that that truncated content...

Firefox blocks third-party tracking cookies and cryptominers

4.9.2019
This is super interesting stuff from Mozilla: the most recent update of Firefox will now block cryptominers and third-party tracking scripts by default. In the press release they write: For today’s release, Enhanced Tracking Protection will automatically be turned on by default for all users...
