I don't make ad tech. I work on privacy tech that forces advertisers into compliance with privacy laws at my current employer. That's a pinned tweet from May 2020, and I still stand behind it. Here's something that will defin

The answer to why: It helps with efficient allocation of worker thread pools. I helped make a timing attack[1] as justification for adding this API, and then presented this suggested API to each browser vendor along with the timing attack.

You can offer this feature without sending unnecessary information to your servers. You did it the easy way instead of the "right way". You need to re-think your architecture to do these checks locally in-browser in order to pr

I'm against all icon fonts except icon fonts that literally only implement Unicode icon codepoints. That use-case is still technically accessible.

I'd rather have development resumed on Carlo. You can re-use the existing Chrome install on a user's device without having to rely on a system-provided WebView.

Windows has special protocol schemes specifically for opening various settings pages. I feel like an accessibility feature will probably make it possible to launch such a URL. Maybe the camera app's QR code integration (if any) can lau

Accessibility software absolutely could read text from SVGs embedded using img tags. Just because none do so yet doesn't mean that it can't or won't be done.
