After ~25 years of using #CSS, still learning stuff each project that requires I do something I haven't done before. Spent all last night learning how to override #Safari / #WebKit <select> element droplist button styling. Came up with something that, after all this time, is a real simple joy thing.

I have a new project underway ;)

Twenty five years ago today I started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple Computer.

Which means Safari is now old enough to rent itself a car. But let's not speculate about my age.

I'm still sad I can't use Safari on my Windows PC. Alas, I lost the battle to keep it there. But at least WebKit's DNA seeded or influenced most browsers we use today.

And I'm proud of that impact. Along with the wonderful team I built who made it all happen. Here's to another 25, friends.

Cheers. 🥂😊💖

iOS browsers 30 percent slower according to Microsoft

In the EU, browser manufacturers are now allowed to use their own engines – but not in the USA. This costs users performance, claims Microsoft.

New post: Building WebKit for OpenHarmony with vcpkg.

I moved the WebKit dependency build from Cerbero to vcpkg. The Qt team added HarmonyOS platform support to vcpkg, and WebKit already builds against vcpkg for Windows, so the OpenHarmony patch surface shrinks to a few overlays. Also: basic media playback now works.
