I can't find the tweet now, but someone suggested <model> was a way to own the Metaverse.
1. If you wanted to own something why would you try to develop it as an open standard that works with other technologies?
2. I don't know what the Metaverse is.
Reminder: @samweinig explained a lot of the thinking behind <model> here: xitter.cf/samweinig/status/14454…
People talking about the risk of browser monoculture… I wonder what would happen if Chrome forked into 3 teams, no shared code going forward, and each competed as a separate browser with different feature priorities. Maybe that would be helpful for the Web?
Have you been having out-of-memory issues with canvas elements on iOS? I'd love feedback on how to best address the problem (I've given a few options): github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pul…

Please try to avoid gating functionality on the string name of a GPU/vendor. You're locking out users who, in the future, get better hardware that doesn't match the name. There is always better hardware coming, and content is rarely updated.
