Google's plan to phase out third-party cookies in Chrome is officially over. "the Privacy Sandbox APIs may have a different role to play in supporting the ecosystem". That's pretty disappointing and bad sign for privacy improvement on the web.
The classic last day "laptop and badge" photo.
Today's my last day at Google. I'll be starting at Meta soon to work on browser related things.
Trump shames America.
Me whenever I have to decide what to do with an old cable or power adapter.
I feel like I've seen very little reporting on protests. Seems like a disconnect between what I see on social media and traditional news.
"It's complicated"... But I think there is an active effort to integrate cookies into fetch spec.
Both Firefox and Chromium consider the server's `Date` response header when evaluating a `Set-Cookie` header's `Expires` value but this doesn't seem to be discussed in any standard, or in MDN?

Seems like it might be a good idea to file a fetch spec issue for this.
My strategic privacy analysis. Is Google undoing a decade of progress on privacy? Their new policy allows invasive device fingerprinting for tracking user activity. Here’s my deep dive into what this means for privacy—and the future of AI. blog.lukaszolejnik.com/biggest-priv...
"giving time back" is one of those recurring corporate phrases it will be nice to get away from over the holiday break.
Sorry, missed you were talking about the native app.
Probably because google docs is canvas rendered instead of using the DOM?
There is probably a ceiling on efficiency without restricting types of patterns (like excluding arbitrary regexes, etc), but a number of optimizations should be possible. For example, patterns with fixed prefixes, etc. Also using a single pass match like RE2::Set uses. cc @domenic.me
I don't think anyone has completed work on optimizing matching a string against a list of URLPattern. I suspect we need to add a URLPatternList API as discussed here:

We're two build systems passed goma now!
If you are using ServiceWorker Static routing API then we've an origin trial from Chrome 131 adding Navigation and Resource Timing to that to allow you to measure the impact of using this API.
More info in this explainer:

Would love to hear feedback to help us ship this!
After working on URLs for well over a decade, we finally hit a point where real browser convergence on core aspects is happening. Experimental browser builds are at ~96% (Chromium), ~99% (Gecko), and ~100% (WebKit) in Interop 2024’s URL category. Very exciting to see! Kudos!
I'm now tempted to edit all my posts to say "404".
Not sure why #ATproto uses /.well-known/atproto-did to discover handles rather than using #WebFinger like #Mastodon and having a rel-self to a did:plc URI
Feels needless to have two discovery layers? And would have enabled the same handle resolution for both Mastodon and Bluesky?
And its a more open system in that I could use any number of companies to achieve the same result (or do it myself). (I guess we can't edit posts here yet.)
I pay $5/mo for mastohost to do it for me. Yes, its more work, but it also has a clear funding model that I can understand.
I agree its not a solution for non-technical people, but generally those folks don't have custom domains either.
I tried to set a handle here using my custom domain, but I'm unsure it worked correctly. I kind of prefer mastodon's approach so far which functions more like email. (I have ben@wanderview.com as my handle there.)
Helpful post from the MakeMyTrip team on tackling their third-party cookies issues:
1⃣ Fix your own code, e.g. `Partitioned` cookies
2⃣ Upgrade dependencies, e.g Use the latest Google Sign-in
3⃣ Check third-parties, e.g. New Relic had already updated

We were lucky a local university turned our dying mall into this amazing medical center: www.urmc.rochester.edu/orthopaedics...
I never would have predicted that, but seems like a great outcome.
So far it seems that this place is primarily the @scalzi.com social media app. Not complaining...
