Chromium browsers—Chrome, Edge, et al.—are getting a much-needed update to some interface elements like the progess element, the meter element, and the range, date, and color input types.
This might encourage more people to use native form controls …but until we can more accurately tweak the styling of these elements, people are still going to reach for more bloated, less accessible JavaScript-driven options. Over-engineering is under-engineering
It’s nice to see that the Chrome browser will add interface enhancements to show whether you can expect a site to load fast or slowly.
Just a shame that the Google search team aren’t doing this kind of badging …unless you’ve given up on your website and decided to use Google AMP instead.
Maybe the Chrome team can figure out what the AMP team are doing to get such preferential treatment from the search team.
URLs are the single greatest feature of the web.
The latest version of Chrome is removing seams by messing with the display of the URL.
This is a bug.
What I did at Indie Web Camp Düsseldorf.
You can kiss URLs goodbye after all.

Jake’s got an idea for improving the security of displaying URLs in browsers.
