There's an issue open for this on the WebDriver BiDi issue tracker. We started with WebSockets because that supports more use cases (e.g. automating a remote device such as a mobile browser) and because building on the existing infrast

> Is it possible to now use Puppeteer from inside the browser? Talking about WebDriver (BiDi) in general rather than Puppeteer specifically, it depends what exactly you mean. Classic WebDriver is a HTTP-based protocol. WebDriver BiDi use

That is certainly true of most consumer devices i.e. phones and laptops. For example Dell estimate that 85% of the lifetime emissions for their XPS systems come from manufacture [1] and Apple claim 79% for an 14 inch macbook. For beefy desk

Technically the difference between "net zero" and "carbon neutral" is supposed to be that "net zero" first eliminates all but "residual" emissions, and only then depends on offsets, whereas "carb

I don't disagree with you, but to give a bit of colour to the counterargument, as I understand it, we now have maybe 5 decades of experience which suggests that the "sharing" approach doesn't work at scale. In general, i

Yes, I think it's under-appreciated how much git and mercurial were ideologically different in their attitudes to history rewriting. The generally accepted narrative these days is that git became popular because of github (with the imp

Unfortunately that's probably not true (and I say that as someone who has some much-loved merino clothes). The problem with animals like sheep is that they take up a huge amount of land, both directly grazing and for any additional fee

The problem with biofuels in general is that they're always sold as "from byproducts". But of course as soon as you set up a market for fuel it becomes a product in its own right. So they tend to drive the conversion of natur

So the fundamental premise of the article seems to be "offsetting via avoidance can't get you to net zero, so it's a bad idea". I agree with the premise (that it can't get you to net zero), but I wonder if it can he

The Acid tests were obviously great at the time, but in retrospect some of the choices were not ideal. The concept of having a single page that only renders correctly when all the relevant conditions are met makes it hard to write broad tes

You are correct; the real success in terms of improving the web for users and authors will be if all the browser engines end up aligning on behaviour and getting a good score. Nevertheless having per-browser scores is useful for the browser
