If anybody moves a #webCompat ticket to backlog because they claim you don't need to support low market share clients, remind them about Amazon Chime.

techcrunch.com/2025/02/20/amaz

Yes, the probability that Chime supported a particular client was high - but what really matters is for the power users who organize multiple meetings per day, what is the chance that some attendee has a rare client?

And for an IT department supporting lots of meeting organizers, how many rare client issues per day?

I just found the weirdest bug in Safari @webkit

When swapping the class name of two DOM nodes, it tells JavaScript that attribute changed, but the "real" DOM and painted screen don't change, permanently out of sync.

* Press down once.

In Firefox/Chrome, the orange box moves. In Safari, a ghost clone is created!

Friday Morning.
Last Day at the #w3cTPAC event.

Going back to Tokyo tonight, head full of ideas and cooperation across browsers and websites to advance #webcompat and improve interoperability.

That was great and useful.

Also thanks to the @w3c staff to be, as always, helpful, diligent and kind. Much Love.

The @webkit team you rock too.

Does anyone actually use the HTML5 `<time>` tag? Well, I do, and I’ve noticed that Safari’s Reader mode strips this semantic tag entirely.

For example, if you code `<p>iOS 18 was released in <time datetime=“2024-09-16”>2024</time>.</p>`, Reader Mode will render it as, “iOS 18 was released on .”

User agents don’t need to do anything with this tag. The expected behavior is to ignore it and render it as plain text, as if it were never there. Safari handles it correctly, but turn on Reader and you’ll have some missing dates and confused readers.

I filed a bug report. If anyone out there can get Apple’s attention on this super-easy fix, that’d be great. feedbackassistant.apple.com/fe

This is an opportunity to improve #interop and #webcompat across browsers.

Read carefully the blog post and specifically the section "What Makes a Great Proposal?"

WebKit · Get Ready for Interop 2025: Your Chance to Shape the WebHey web developers!

`background-clip: text` is now supported cross-browser, unprefixed, in the shorthand.

But there are still bugs/ compat problems.

1️⃣ `p` and `a` within both have `background-clip: text`. Firefox & Chrome produce different results if `a` has a stacking context trigger property‼️

Yet another #webcompat day… Outreach or Quirk?

Outreach:
Real fix. Need to find the site owners/engineers. Explain the issue. Hope they care. And wait… wait… wait for the fix (which sometimes never comes). webdevs have their business priorities too. In the meantime the user is having a bad experience.

Quirk:
Hotfixing the website with a hack in the browser engine. The user has right away a better experience.

Usually the right answer is

Quirk and Outreach at the same time!
