Looking forward to presenting the new WPEPlatform API at the #OSSummit, and showing how simple it is to write a #WPE launcher and migrate existing ones. I'll also try to do a live demo, so it might even be "fun" 😅. Feel free to join at 15:50 in South Hall 3 B! osselceu2026.sched.com/event/07a743...

What happens when browsers agree with each other, but disagree with the specification? A few days ago, my colleague @bkardell.com pointed out that this sometimes happens! You might expect us to fix the browsers. But sometimes, we change the specification instead. www.atbrakhi.dev/blog/browser...

O recinto de PALEXCO na Coruña acolleu entre os días 15 e 17 de xuño unha nova edición do Web Engines Hackfest, un encontro que xuntou a unha parte significativa da comunidade internacional responsable das tecnoloxías que sustentan a web. No encontro discutíronse temas como a accesibilidade, a seguridade, a gobernanza, a interoperabilidade dos navegadores e mesmo a intelixencia artificial na web, que centraron tanto relatorios como sesións colaborativas. Para saber máis deste evento falamos cun dos seus coordinadores, Manuel Rego, de Igalia, compañía responsable de que unha xuntanza desta magnitude teña lugar en Galicia.
