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

Reading the comments on this post/poll is painful. My sympathy to the Mozilla folks.

Waiting to board this flight from Tokyo to Chicago... I'm not sure I'm ready to be around my fellow Americans again.

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. 😢

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

I think I'm finally going to stop subscribing to WaPo. Kind of sad as it's been my go-to news source for 20+ years.
