I sincerely apologize to the Safari team for misrepresenting their compatibility score in our Chrome Dev Summit presentation. Due to a combination of personal circumstances, a reliance on outdated Safari Tech Preview data from wpt.fyi, and the rush leading up to the event, we displayed an incorrect improvement score (64 => 85 instead of 64 => 92). This was my mistake, and I take full responsibility. While we attempted to rectify the situation, it was too late to change the presentation. Our intent was never malicious, but rather to highlight the collaborative effort to improve web compatibility. I've learned valuable lessons from this experience: triple-check data, consult with relevant engineers, focus on stable release data, and communicate with browser teams transparently. Going forward, we'll prioritize broad browser support and emphasize the user experience in stable releases.
Feature Policy is a powerful web platform tool that allows developers to control the behavior of APIs and features, similar to CSP. It helps manage third-party content by enabling or disabling functionalities like autoplay, geolocation, and sensor access within iframes, giving embedders more control over their page experience. Additionally, Feature Policy assists in maintaining performance budgets during development by flagging potential violations, such as excessive image downscaling, as demonstrated with the 'max-downscaling-image' policy used during Chrome Dev Summit. Developers can explore more about Feature Policy, code samples, and demos at featurepolicy.rocks, submit feedback at https://bit.ly/2B3gDEU, and learn about the Reporting API at https://bit.ly/rep-api.
