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.

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

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? developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

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...

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: github.com/WICG/service... 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!

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?

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 medium.com/@suraj0533/h...
