Evolution of the Web.
A website is an online place where you can tell people to follow you on different social media so they might have a chance, if the algorithm allows it, to read what you hope to write in the future.

Arc Browser
I have to point out that I am not completely against Arc, nor am I declaring its existence to be a failure. I've just decided that it's clearly designed for a different type of user.

Browsers, JSON, and FormData
While getting browser-native support for transitions could act as an antidote to the JavaScript-heavy SPA experiences common today, I think there’s another equally significant change that could decrease the amount of JavaScript shipped to modern websites: we need either 1) more APIs that speak FormData, or 2) browsers that speak JSON.
Allow me to try and explain.

Comparing TCP and QUIC
There is a common view out there that the Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) transport protocol (RFC 9000) is just another refinement to the original Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) transport protocol (RFC 9293, RFC 793). I find it hard to agree with this sentiment, and for me, QUIC represents a significant shift in the set of transport capabilities available to applications in terms of communication privacy, session control integrity, and flexibility. QUIC embodies a different communications model that makes it intrinsically useful to many more forms of application behaviours. Oh, yes. It’s also faster than TCP!
In my opinion, it’s likely that over time QUIC will replace TCP in the public Internet. So, for me, QUIC is a lot more than just a few tweaks to TCP. Here, we will describe both TCP and QUIC and look at the changes that QUIC has brought to the transport table.
