In enterprises, we’ve seen everything from wholesale adoption to policies that severely restrict or even forbid the use of generative AI. Unexpected outcomes, security, safety, fairness and bias, and privacy are the biggest risks for which adopters are testing. Another piece of the same puzzle is the lack of a policy for AI use.

Engine diversity is essential, as it is the mechanism that causes competition to deliver better performance, capability, privacy, security, and user controls. To recap: Users can freely choose desktop browsers with differing features, search engines, privacy and security attributes, and underlying engines. Party Time!

How does Apple justify such a policy ? The purpose of this rule is to protect user privacy and security. Nefarious websites have analysed other web browser engines and found flaws that have not been disclosed, and exploit those flaws when a user goes to a particular website to silently violate user privacy or security.

Misdirections often derail the debate around browsers, the role of the web, and App Store policies on iOS. Lastly, while this post does measure the distance Safari lags, let nobody mistake that for the core concern: iOS App Store policies that prevent meaningful browser competition are at issue here.

Pre-publication gates were valuable when better answers weren't available, but commentators should update their priors to account for hardware and software progress of the past 13 years. Policies built for a different era don't make sense today, and we no longer need to accept sweeping restrictions in the name of safety.

The complexity of the software being built and that billions of devices are connected with them through the internet, makes them vulnerable to security threats. Penetration testing is comprehensively performed over a fully-functional system’s software and hardware. Why do we perform Penetration Testing?

Suz Hinton's talks on WebUSB show the through-line: as the web gets more capable, whole classes of software suddenly benefit from frictionless deployment, increased safety, better privacy, and more meaningful user controls. Together, they make software better. We started down this path with Project Fizz in '14. 15] [16] [17].

For example, you could reduce compression efficiency , because that works better with more data. As such, many firewall vendors currently recommend blocking QUIC until they can update their software. Firewalls can’t just use the QUIC CIDs, because they also change over time to protect users’ privacy!

To check the efficiency of your responsive markup, you can use imaging-heap , a command line tool that measure the efficiency across viewport sizes and device pixel ratios. But this consideration needs to be deliberate.
