All the big browser makers (and Igalia, a major contributor) dropped their timed blog posts announcing Interop 2026.

The GOAT JavaScript library jQuery has gone 4.0 coinciding with, from what I hear, was a lovely reunion party. It’s not wildly different, but it’s gone full ESM and dropped a bunch of old stuff.

Firefox 147 just came out, and the flagship developer feature is clearly anchor positioning support, bringing that “to the baseline” as we’re supposed to say these days. That rules, but I’m also very hyped about CSS module scripts. Remember, they are a way of importing a stylesheet in JavaScript, that is, the only decent way […]
