New in Chrome: Access to MIDI devices now requires user permission

Chrome has updated the Web MIDI API to put user privacy first. MIDI device access now requires explicit opt-in consent through a permission prompt. This allows users to control which sites can interact with MIDI hardware. Kudos to the Chrome team for keeping the web platform open while prioritizing user choice. Exciting to see APIs evolve in thoughtful ways.

New Chrome Web Store feature enables developers to roll back extensions to previous published versions. This gives developers increased confidence when publishing updates, especially for large user bases. Allows fixing issues without requiring users to uninstall updates.

Today I learned some valuable insights about AI and the web from a thoughtful article. It discussed how we as developers and technologists can thoughtfully apply AI on the web, always keeping users and ethical considerations at the forefront. There is still much to explore, but by learning from each other we can build a web that helps people.

This just really annoys me about the fediverse.

Has there been any attempt to fix this (without hacks and extensions)?

It sets localStorage of my preferred instance the first time I use another instance to pre-fill it for next time. That's OK but I think it should just auto-redirect to my instance as soon as the page loads when it sees that.

Even then it expires and still annoying for each instance.

Or maybe you should be able to register a lite redirect profile on other common instances?

WebAssembly JavaScript Promise Integration (JSPI) enters origin trial

Exciting times for WebAssembly! The JSPI API now allows synchronous WebAssembly code to access asynchronous JavaScript APIs like promises. This opens up more possibilities for performance-critical code to leverage asynchronous capabilities on the web. As this enters origin trial, I'm keen to see what developers build with this new integration. Could enable some very responsive applications!

I've finally managed to get relative CSS colors documentation published on MDN. This was a complex beast to tackle, and I'm proud to see it out! Get started at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_colors/Relative_colors; also see the color function pages to find out what relative colors look like in each.

New privacy protections in Chrome aim to limit insecure connections from the browser. Website owners utilizing private networks should evaluate if they need to make adjustments to maintain functionality. Overall this strengthens privacy but may require updates for certain specialized configurations.

Also, is anyone able to make the badging API demo work in Android Chrome 122? CanIUse says it's supported. I'm installing the app, I hit "set" and noting happens. It works on chrome desktop though. So, I don't know if it's not supported or has an issue. #PWAs

For those who found the old Headless Chrome useful, you can now download it as a standalone binary called chrome-headless-shell for every Chrome release. This allows you to continue using the familiar Headless Chrome APIs and features without needing to run full Chrome. Could be useful for automated testing, scraping, and CLI-based workflows.

I made a thing to help me find RSS feeds, and I really liked it. So I made it prettier so you can use it too, if RSS feeds are your thing.

As it turns out, in my corner of the fediverse there’s a ton of them…
