After careful consideration and a look at where the industry is spending it's funding we've decided to pivot #FFConf in a "new" direction. I present to you: ffconf.ai Please share with bots and humans alike.

Great to see more public datasets out there. CrUX is great, and obviously has extra sway given the Google name behind it, but it’s Chrome-only. So RUM Archive fills that gap and lets us see how other browsers compare.

I miss the days when editor updates was targeted at developers rather than AI agents. Sure, agentic AI and such can be amazing, but the _editor_ is primarily the domain of a human developer in my world. When I want to be agentic I use pi.dev or some other dedicated agentic harness.

Wonderful that the far right seems to be the biggest losers in the Swedish national election – so far they have grown each year, now they are estimated to lose 3.3% and only become the third largest one (They did lose votes in the latest election as well though, which was to the EU parliament)

The iPhone Mini is long gone – but: The iPhone Duo is 13.7mm shorter than the Mini is and even just 2.6mm taller than an iPhone 4 and 2.3mm than an iPhone 3G. It’s 1mm thinner than an iPhone 3G, 2mm thicker than an iPhone 4, 3.65mm thicker than a iPhone 13 Mini. So it’s a new Mini kind of?

Pelle Wessman @voxpelli.com · 10/09/2026
It’s funny how the iPhone Duo gets compared to the Samsung Fold 8 – no foldable have used the form factor of the iPhone Duo / Fold 8 since: The Surface Duo in 2019/2021 The Surface Duo was always the more appealing form factor to me – Apple took the best of it and the foldable screens.

I wonder what produces best code: - A developer who is used to ecosystem X that has to implement an architecture in ecosystem Y and implements everything in Y as they are used to do it in X - An AI agent implementing the architecture in Y Should the dev focus on implementing in Y or guide an AI?

The only result will be that we will get intrusive age checks for everyone – challenging privacy and increasing complexity. Kids will still be on social media but wince they are only so undercover we will no longer be able to check on their wellbeing there or mitigate the harmfulness.
