• Low- and Mid-Tier Mobile for the Real World (2025) - CSS Wizardry

  "TL;DR: If you want broadly representative Android hardware for real-world web performance testing in 2025, buy a Samsung Galaxy A15 5G (SM-A156x) (low-tier) and a Samsung Galaxy A54 5G (SM-A546x) (mid-tier). Both are mass-market, widely ranged across regions, have multi-year software support, and map well to Chrome DevTools' Low- and Mid-tier presets."

  "If you just want to make some existing XSLT work in browsers that don't support it, check out Mason's XSLT polyfill. But if you don't need to use XSLT, JavaScript is, in my opinion, a better option."

  "Apple does provide an option to "Reduce Transparency" in accessibility settings - and suddenly, the UI becomes more usable. Not just if you have low vision - but if you're tired, on a shaky bus, or outside with 3% battery in bright sunlight."

• The web behind glass · Medienbäcker Thomas Günther

  "Browsers are supposed to be a window to the web, getting out of the way and making sure websites are displayed correctly without needing adjustments for each individual one. Now we have Apple saying their new design "gets out of our way" while doing the exact opposite."

• You Don't Have to Be Blind to Use a Screen Reader - Pedal Point Solutions

  "I have low vision and am legally blind, but I still read with magnification and zoom. Even so, I often use screen readers and text-to-speech because they're faster, easier on my eyes, and more comfortable for long stretches. For me--and for many others--screen readers aren't about replacing sight, but about expanding options."

• Quality is a trap - Eric Bailey

  "I don't think it's fair to criticize such a landmark piece of web history in this way. But I am bringing it up to communicate a larger point: Something that's considered high quality now may not be in the future."
