In my audits, reading the Performance profile is where people get stuck: the flame chart and waterfall look like noise at first I built an interactive guide to make them click, every figure is interactive, plus LCP, CLS, INP and the Insights panel perf.reviews/profile-guide #WebPerf #DevTools

Great thread on how best to file bugs with browsers if you want to increase the chances they’ll be fixed.

Chrome 151 beta introduces powerful capabilities for web performance and accessibility → goo.gle/4yuqBcV Discover new soft navigation timeline entries, the aria-actions attribute, and the <usermedia> element for interacting with media streams.
A car alarm device, KARR, inside millions of cars has a security flaw that lets hackers unlock, track, even paralyze vehicles. There's a patch. The problem? Half of car owners who have the device installed didn't ask for it, and may not even know it's there. Thread👇 www.wired.com/story/a-devi...
A Device Hidden in Cars Across the US Leaves Them Vulnerable to Hacking and Paralysis. Patch It Now
Dealerships installed alarms in millions of vehicles—and left them in even if the buyer didn’t want them. Now researchers warn they can be hacked to unlock, track, and disable cars.

More details on the soft navigations work and how to enable this using the web-vitals library. developer.chrome.com/docs/web-pla... Any questions let me know!
Measuring soft navigations | Web Platform | Chrome for Developers
The Chrome team is working on better measuring so-called soft navigations used by Single Page Applications and a new API is now available behind a flag to allow sites to try the API.

I've just release v6.0.0 of the web-vitals library. It includes support for measuring Web Vitals per soft navigation (like those used in SPAs) for supporting browsers (Chrome 151+) to give more accurate performance metrics for those sites. github.com/GoogleChrome...

Irritating part of the AI ecosystem* is this reflex to create coded vocabulary that builds an unnecessary barrier to entry. MCP? Oh, you mean an API. Skills? Oh, you mean docs. Evals? Oh, you mean tests. * to be fair, this is actually any group of humans who want to differentiate Their Shiny Thing™
apenwarr@apenwarr.ca · 3w agoAlarmed at this trend of people finally realizing MCP is a pointless abstraction, then skipping right over publishing a regular boring API, and instead launching new CLIs for agents to use for some reason. It’s baffling.
🔍 Many companies assume everyone craves new AI features. But the reality is that most people don’t want more AI — at least not in the way most AI leaders envision it: www.smashingmagazine.com/2026/07/peop...
Hi! I'm working on a new HTML feature: filterable select There are two proposed API shapes so far: 1. Nesting <input> in <select> 2. Sibling <input> for listbox <select> w/id ref Option 1 is more ergonomic, but would break selects in older browsers Thoughts? (Both currently in Canary w/flag)

My experience with agents is that it doesn't make my work "faster". In the end it costs roughly the same amount of time, if not longer But my role has shifted from "builder" to "sculptor", which is a completely different job. I hated it at the very beginning tbh, but I'm getting better at it slowly
Just wrapped up the "Bridge the AI knowledge gap" workshop with Tara Agyemang! 🚀 Seeing how much better coding agents handle web dev tasks when equipped with modern web guidance vs. without it was an absolute lightbulb moment. 💡 #GoogleIOConnect #BuildwithGemini
The Chrome DevTools team are doing a "papercuts" sprint where they try to address lots of small, irritating bugs and annoyances. Reply with crbug.com links (no bug, no fix—that's the deal!) and will see what we can do. No promises though as some may be features/too big/unclear how to solve.

Why Are There So Few Accessibility Complaints From Users?, by @plannero@w3c.social: https://metamatrix.se/blogg/why-so-few-report-accessibility-problems/?ref=frontenddogma.com #accessibility
Why are there so few accessibility complaints from users?
Most websites and apps still have considerable accessibility problems. Yet customer support staff usually receive only a few complaints related to these obstacles. Why is that? Is accessibility overrated?
