iOS Safari Engineer @🍎.
Opinions (if any are ever expressed here) are my own.

Top billing under the Privacy and Security section. Cannot overstate how massive an effort this was from so many people across so many orgs. #wwdc2022 https://t.co/MBGR84kWER

[David Quesada @davidpquesada]

The Authentication Experience team does some amazing work, and their mission to replace passwords with something more secure is something I’ve been really excited to learn more about!

[Ricky Mondello @rmondello]

New today at #WWDC21! 🔑 Passwords are fundamentally flawed. The future of app/website authentication for everyone should be secure by design, easy to use, and built on standards. Learn about passkeys — synced WebAuthn credentials — in iCloud Keychain. https://t.co/hc0u2AzWiv

Today’s sessions from #WWDC are up! For the web now watch:
• the second of two sessions about Web Extensions;
• about the latest updates to WKWebView;
• moving beyond passwords (get rid of them!); and
• supporting verification codes.

Find them all at https://t.co/m2mwBGVLjA

Now it’s official. There’s now a WebExtensions Community Group, initiated by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla, for aligning on a common vision for browser extensions and to work towards future standardization. https://t.co/NEwPqRU0jW

Web standards. For extensions.

I am a music historian, and with @AdrianRMG I have researched the best-selling single of every decade all the way back to 14,000BC. Here's a thread:

2010s - Ed Sheeran, The Shape of You

Not pictured in the 2019 side: Somehow uses 600MB of RAM

@rmondello Actual conversation at work a few days ago:
Person: I actually use https://t.co/mOSyzXizzE as a basic browser sanity test - it has JavaScript, SVG, animations, audio, etc...
Me: You can test anything at zombocom!

📣 The Safari team is hiring! Junior folks, senior folks, all folks! This team knows how to mentor engineers, ship amazing stuff, and have the right amount of inclusive fun. If you’re interested, shoot me a note/résumé at <my twitter handle at apple dot com>. (Feel free to RT!)

Come hear @charlietuna, @dethbakin and @wensonhsieh introduce Desktop-class browsing on iPad in Hall 1 in 15 minutes! https://t.co/rFDugsz0kJ #WWDC19

[David Quesada @davidpquesada]

@mattkahl @stroughtonsmith a. Yes, you can download standalone media files from Safari.
b. Yes, Safari has the same download management features on iPhone and iPad.

[David Quesada @davidpquesada]

@Cimmerian_Iter @FCE365 Really! It’s been mentioned alongside iPadOS as a feature of the desktop-class Safari on iPad, but the download manager is also available on iPhone.

[David Quesada @davidpquesada]

@Cimmerian_Iter @FCE365 Actually, Safari’s download manager is also available on iPhone with iOS 13.

[David Quesada @davidpquesada]

Of course, that’s only a small part of the new Safari for iOS and iPadOS. There’s lots more great stuff including desktop-class websites, more keyboard shortcuts than ever, per-site preferences, and easier access to options such as page zoom/content blockers/ and mobile/desktop.

[David Quesada @davidpquesada]

It’s crazy to see something I helped work on featured on https://t.co/YCvLBp0vUI!

Also, I totally want a copy of “Dad jokesv3.pdf”.

[David Quesada @davidpquesada]

@philo23 It’s not! Safari’s new download manager will also be available for iPhones on iOS 13.

[SwiftOnSecurity @SwiftOnSecurity]

When did this get added? Cool new shortcut in Chrome: Alt+F4

[David Quesada @davidpquesada]

@fernandoluisnp @_inside Chrome uses a separate process per site, including cross-origin subframes (https://t.co/zGDfYwyWWY). This means you can end up with a ton of processes, particularly on pages with lots of ads or trackers in subframes. I assume this applies to Edge as well.

@rmondello The Sonic games have some great soundtracks: https://t.co/rmi8SMNeLc

Honestly....... still better than Bixby
