Where do you think you would find this setting on a Pixel phone? In the Google photos app? In system storage settings? No... It's very helpfully in the Files app. Thank you Google. 🤦‍♂️

I submitted my first upstream chromium change since starting on the Meta IAB team. Hopefully this will allow us to turn shared memory cookie access back on in WebView which is a significant performance optimization in the browser. chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/…

RE: mastodon.social/@firefoxwebdevs/115… Reading the comments on this post/poll is painful. My sympathy to the Mozilla folks.

W3C folks did a great job with TPAC this year. Usually there is some consensus on what to complain about (soggy chips, power outage, etc), but I can't really think of anything this time. No rain on Sunday? Ban the word "agent"? No notes I guess. 👍

A brutal series of posts in blink-dev as years of work from the Privacy Sandbox team is set to be removed. I know there was mixed reception to some of this work, but I feel for the people who put so much into trying to improve privacy in Chrome. 😢

Today's my last day at Google. I'll be starting at Meta soon to work on browser related things.

I think I'm finally going to stop subscribing to WaPo. Kind of sad as it's been my go-to news source for 20+ years. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/feb/…
