Final Soft Navigations origin trial starting in Chrome 147  |  Blog  |  Chrome for Developers Take a last chance to try out the Soft Navigations API before release with this final origin trial.

Wanna measure Core Web Vitals for SPAs?

It's been a long-standing gap, but one that we've been working hard to fill.

We're approaching the final stages and have launched one last origin trial (🤞) as the "last call" before we ship it!

They are advertising in dreams now unless you pay subscription fees for dreams I guess 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I really enjoy the learning and understanding stuff.

If I use ai it purely in the chat stuff to understand something that I can check is right online.

I had it give alot of lies though.

Really looking forward to this.

Features aren't all equal as well, like fetch priority could be used as soon as chrome supported it, and without waiting for widely available etc.

To me it sounds like entry to conspiracy, like we wont let 5g tower conspiracies.

It's really sad to see the @developer.chrome.com account pumping out AI-style replies that don't really make sense.

These accounts used to be run by DevRel. Now they're run by marketing.

Book cover - web performance in the ages of ai With a greyhound on it

Started reading a new book on web performance and ai by @addyosmani.bsky.social

I honestly had to click though to check it wasn't a delayed April fools. 🙃

I wonder if ai / ai prompters less likely to consider user feedback so they just creating worse and worse long animation frames compared to developers who understand frontend and user experience.

Same tbh, I did originally think it because I am focused on fixing INP issues that I thinking in milliseconds.

CSS or BS? Think you know CSS? Real property or made-up nonsense? 20 rounds. No mercy.

Rather than the same old boring internet pranks, I thought I'd build something more fun this April Fools.

CSS or BS. Can you tell your CSS properties names from BS?

Suspect Guilty GIF Alt: Guy dressed as a hot - we all trying to find the guy who did this

And the post-wave of businesses asking how this happened.

I found I keep coming across multiple performance issues from the same components that I strongly believe are AI written.

p75 and p90 JavaScript bytes on the web have exploded since May, 2025—easily the largest 10 month period based on HTTP Archive data since 2023.

The long-tail is getting worse, very quickly.

Gemini, what happened in May 2025?

📝 New CSS Article!

If you have seen my graph theory demo and wondered how it works, then the article is finally live!

I was playing with two circles and anchor positioning, and ended up creating a shortest path algorithm.

Modern CSS is fun!

Cool view transition demo by @paolo.ricciuti.me !

It looks like a wax figure next to a painting of the wax figure.

I feel like I ended up pasting in figma and then maybe copy as image last time I did this.

Honestly made me enjoy messing around with nodejs stuff again without having pre-set up, I probably could have done a template though.

Point blank is now a part of the Browser.

Understanding and empathy doesn't pay well in UK media circles.

Guessing Kemi only saw terfs on that other app celebrating another defeat like they do when they lose court cases multiple times.

That really sucks, if they can't explain to another person what features they want, can't imagine ai being very good at delivering it / expressing concerns.

I probably say no. React will likely see this as the input type changing instead.

Black card of cards against humanity "I'm not scared of a germ I used to snort ___ off ____"

Honestly feels reality is being written by a game of card against humanity at this point.

Same on layout shift and scheduler API I believe.
