I submitted my first upstream chromium change since starting on the Meta IAB team. Hopefully this will allow us to turn shared memory cookie access back on in WebView which is a significant performance optimization in the browser. https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/7414326

W3C folks did a great job with TPAC this year. Usually there is some consensus on what to complain about (soggy chips, power outage, etc), but I can't really think of anything this time. No rain on Sunday? Ban the word "agent"? No notes I guess. 👍

A brutal series of posts in blink-dev as years of work from the Privacy Sandbox team is set to be removed. I know there was mixed reception to some of this work, but I feel for the people who put so much into trying to improve privacy in Chrome. 😢

One clown in the White House worse than the other! Who is this dipshit asking this ridiculous question? Is this such a joke you can’t focus on anything else than what’s Zelensky is wearing?
