This is happening today at @webengineshackfest.org ! 💬 AI ate web food! Putting a browser on a (memory) diet 🗓️ Tuesday, June 16th · Noon CEST · CSS Room. We will cover the new challenges to web browsers memory usage, in 2026, caused by the RAM prices crush (and more!). cc @igalia.com #webperf

@webengineshackfest.org kicked off today! Tomorrow, I am facilitating a breakout session: 💬 AI ate web food! Putting a browser on a (memory) diet 🗓️ Tuesday, June 16th · Noon CEST · CSS Room. #webperf cc @igalia.com

💡Fantastic work with a challenging environment! No JIT, no multiprocess, no system web engine. What it means to run #Chromium in tvOS.

A year after starting the project, I’m excited to share a new blog post introducing our Blink for tvOS port! “Introduce Blink for Apple tvOS” blogs.igalia.com/gyuyoung/202... I’m also planning to share another post soon covering some of the latest updates on the project. cc @igalia.com

Excited about this, we've been working on the upcoming Container Timing API. Want to learn more? Take a read of the blog post below, put together with @tunetheweb.com and @jdapena.bsky.social. Feedback is very welcome. Try it out and help us shape this API! [This feature is Mozilla Approved]

There's a new #webperf measurement API in the works! Check out this post looking at the work @jason-williams.co.uk and @jdapena.bsky.social have been putting into there Container Timing—available as an origin trail from Chrome 148 (rolling out next week). developer.chrome.com/blog/contain...

Great chatting with you, Henri! I really enjoyed diving into the details of container timing. Can't wait to see it published.

Henri Helvetica 🧑🏾‍🚀🇭🇹@henrihelvetica.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Had a delightful session today. A great conversation was had w/ @jdapena.bsky.social of @igalia.com about the work being done w/ container timing in Chrome. Both @jason-williams.co.uk + @andydavies.me got mentions. 🙃 This should be published soon. Thx to all who joined in!

Thanks Rob! 🙌 It has been a fantastic journey collaborating with @jason-williams.co.uk and the Bloomberg team to bring component-level metrics to the web.

Container Timing is a new web performance metric to measure when an area of the screen gets painted ⏲️ @jdapena.bsky.social and @jason-williams.co.uk have been working on it for the last couple of years. It's in Chromium, behind a flag. Hopefully coming to an origin-trial near you soon!

How do you measure rendering performance for entire DOM subtrees without slowing down the browser? ⏱️ ✍ In my new blog post, I dive into the technical details of how I implemented the new Container Timing #webperf API in #Blink / #Chromium. blogs.igalia.com/dape/2026/03...

The implementation of Container Timing: aggregating paints in Blink

Deep dive on the implementation details of the Container Timing API for Chromium. How we track the paints? How we buffer the data for each component?

How do you measure when a component is “ready”? ⏱️ LCP is too global; Element Timing is too specific. 🛠️ I’ve been working with Bloomberg on a new #webperf API: Container Timing. Think of it as “LCP for a web component”, providing aggregated paint timing for a subtree.

BlinkOn 20 kicks off today at Google HQ, and Igalia is there! We’ll be on stage twice today, with @seaotta.dev co-presenting the opening keynote with Penelope MacLachlan, and @jdapena.bsky.social delivering a lightning talk about timing. And we’ll have even more tomorrow!

Container Timing → José Dapena

Container Timing has the potential to improve the capabilities offered by the web platform to content developers to understand the performance behaviour of a web or specific components. A new tool in the WebPerf toolbox!

The Bloomberg Terminal, believe it or not, is based on web technology 🌐 This deep-dive talk by @jason-williams.co.uk & @pcwilliams.net reveals what that looks like in terms of Chromium embedding. It explains how we keep it blazing fast, including by adding a new Web Perf API: Container Timing 🔥
