Web Development Reading List #122: A Performance Budget Builder, Streams, And The Web Push API

This week, Firefox 44 has been released to the public. The new version offers better video support (VP9, WebM in addition to h.264) and adds support for Brotli compression (a new, better compression than gzip) for HTTPS connections. Service Workers are also supported now.

The new Chrome Beta channel build now includes a security panel in the developer tools. This panel shows you how secure your site is, including details on HTTPS and mixed content warnings. Unfortunately, its not super detailed yet, and it also doesnt provide information like HSTS, HKPK and other security details, but Im excited to see this and bet that theyll integrate more features over time.
