... WOFF 2.0 is widely used on production #websites. It supports the entirety of the #TrueType and #OpenType specifications, including Variable fonts, Chromatic fonts, and font Collections. Read the doc. for more details: w3.org/TR/2018/REC-WOFF2-201…

... WOFF 2.0 significantly improves font compression. It offers 30% average gain over WOFF 1.0, with peaks above 50% in some cases!!

... WOFF1.0 was released in Dec. 2012 and has been widely deployed since. To better lower the use of network bandwidth, while still allowing fast decompression (even on mobile devices!), the @w3c WebFonts #WorkingGroup worked on WOFF2.0

... Introduced in 2009, the Web Open Font Format (WOFF) was a milestone that marked the beginning of the #webfonts era. The idea was to specify a simple compressed file format for fonts, designed primarily for use on the #Web.

There are more to addressing #Spectre and #Meltdown than just reducing timers accuracy. The various browser vendors have started reporting on the work they see ahead of them

In particular, @mdrejhon has been expressing detailed concerns about the impact of reduced accuracy for some use cases (e.g. gaming). If you have ideas or concerns, head to the github repo github.com/w3c/hr-time/

The updated specification thus no longer suggests a minimum level of accuracy. There is still ongoing discussion on what the new recommendation should be github.com/w3c/hr-time/issue…

Indeed, the #Spectre and #Meltdown attacks revealed early January can be exploited in browsers - since these attacks rely on precise timing, reducing the precision of performance.now() was quickly identified as a way to reduce the risks of exploitation
