Last week, the Tracking Protection Working Group charter was extended for 6 more months with the explicit goal of exploring the intersection of the #DoNoTrack #HTTP header developed by that group and the #GDPR

While this is a European regulation, it is meant to impact any service with users among European citizen & residents, even if the provider is not European, and is thus expected to have broad impact on the Web.
2 recent intersections of this regulation with the @w3c agenda

As the old saying goes, @w3c #CandidateRecommendation in March, billions of users in April (now, can I get a piece of that chocolate cake? 🍰)
Today we celebrated the shipping of the next-gen Generic Sensor-based motion sensors to billions of Chrome users with a small assortment of cakes. Web technology 100% made in Finland! LGTM! chromestatus.com/feature/569…

Not as a replacement for 'flex' iirc. There's been a 'width: stretch' in the css-sizing drafts that could conceivably be replaced with `1fr`; and @tabatkins & @fantasai definitely regret not using `fr` units in the `flex` property <wiki.csswg.org/ideas/mistake…>...

@csswg is that a known feature request? (couldn't find an obvious match in github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/…

This is what a @csswg meeting looks like mobile.twitter.com/cssrossen…
In a nutshell, #CSS Houdini will let you build polyfills for CSS and experiment with crafting new CSS properties or values ⚗️ (which can then be fed into the standardization process, per the Extensible Web Manifesto github.com/extensibleweb/man… )

So @fantasai and I just updated ishoudinireadyyet.com/ to reflect the maturity and stability of a spec.

@DasSurma is threatening to flood his feed with #Houdini, so follow him if you want to hear live from the meeting
This week I’m at @csswg in Berlin. First day is exclusively about #Houdini. On the agenda:
- Typed OM
- Custom Layout
- Custom Paint
- Animation Worklet

(Mute #Houdini for the week if you are not interested)

Opening up the CSS black box requires specifying and exposing to #JavaScript a lot more of the #CSS machinery. Among other things, this includes a much improved and more strongly typed object model for CSS property values github.com/w3c/css-houdini-d…
"Working with the new CSS Typed Object Model": developers.google.com/web/up…
Calling this .className => .classList, but for the style="" attribute. Proper object model for CSS vals, math methods, unit conversion, parsing. No more manipulating strings to get/set inline styles.

The concept of worklet we described a few weeks ago is one of the many exciting outcomes of this work
Worklets are a lower-cost way of running code very efficiently as part of the various rendering pipelines of the browser (e.g. while painting, laying out, animating or playing audio) developer.mozilla.org/en-US/…

The name #CSS Houdini refers to the black-box magic 🧙♀️that CSS brings to the Web: browsers do lots of amazing work, but leave little for devs to intervene. Houdini aims at “developing features that explain the «magic» of Styling and Layout on the web” github.com/w3c/css-houdini-d…
