🚀 The #StateOfHTML 2025 survey is now open!
➡️ Take it now: https://survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey/state-of-html/2025/?source=leaverou
Spending time to fill these out thoughtfully is an investment into your craft, as browsers are using the results to make prioritization decisions.
You don't have to do it in one go (or even in one device).

🔥 I have news! After a 1y hiatus, I’m once again leading this year’s #StateOfHTML survey, thanks to generous funding by Google. ❤️
🙋🏽♀️ Is there is an HTML feature or Web API you're dying to see progress on? Suggest it and it could be included!
Browsers fund these surveys to see what matters to devs — so if others care too, it can really help. E.g. these surveys are the reason we have CSS Nesting.
⌛️ The survey is launching later this month, so time is of the essence!
"Privacy on the web: creating a more trustworthy web" by W3C CEO @seth
"Creating a more trustworthy web and protecting user privacy is fundamental to creating a web that works, for everyone.
To affirmatively realize the privacy of people using the web and address privacy threats that have already arisen requires us to operate in an interdisciplinary and global space, and to develop dedicated privacy features."

Protecting user privacy is fundamental to creating a web that works for everyone. Last week, W3C published its Statement on Privacy Principles, which provides definitions for privacy concepts plus privacy principles to guide web development. Learn more about this guide and how it can help us all to create a more trustworthy web for users around the world by “levelling up” privacy.
Last week the @tag published the Privacy Principles as a W3C Statement. This document elaborates on the privacy principle from the Ethical Web Principles: "Security and privacy are essential."
Privacy is an essential part of the web. The document provides definitions for privacy and related concepts that are applicable worldwide as well as a set of privacy principles that should guide the development of the web as a trustworthy platform. #privacy
