W3C specs are written with respec: ReSpec docs: https://respec.org/docs/#w3c-documents

W3C Process document > 3.4. Chartered Groups: Working Groups and Interest Groups: https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#GAGeneral

There's WebGPU, WebNN, window.ai, Prompt API, Summarizer API, Writer API, Rewriter API, Language Detector API, Translator API ; and now WebMCP

WebNN: https://www.w3.org/TR/webnn/

webmachinelearning/prompt-api > "Explainer for the Prompt API": https://github.com/webmachinelearning/prompt-api

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/built-in :

> Standardization effort: We're working to standardize all of these APIs for cross-browser compatibility.

> The Language Detector API and Translator API have been adopted by the W3C WebML Working Group. We've asked Mozilla and WebKit for their standards positions.

> The Summarizer API, Writer API, and Rewriter API have also been adopted by the W3C WebML Working Group. We've asked asked Mozilla and WebKit for their standards positions.

Having worked on at least one web app with a name that started with "Web", I'm not surprised.

> We're launching today a public preview for the new Chrome DevTools Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, bringing the power of Chrome DevTools to AI coding assistants.

> Coding agents face a fundamental problem: they are not able to see what the code they generate actually does when it runs in the browser. They're effectively programming with a blindfold on.

> The Chrome DevTools MCP server changes this. AI coding assistants are able to debug web pages directly in Chrome, and benefit from DevTools debugging capabilities and performance insights. This improves their accuracy when identifying and fixing issues.

How could the Chrome DevTools MCP be integrated with the Gemini Computer Use model?

From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45543923 :

> Competency Story: The customer and product owner can write BDD tests in order to validate the app against the requirements

> Prompt: Write playwright tests for #token_reference, that run a named factored-out login sequence, and then test as human user would that: when you click on Home that it navigates to / (given browser MCP and recently the Gemini 2.5 Computer Operator model)

Could this help with accessibility reviews?

This explains all the new random GPO settings I had to go disable at the office this week! (A lot of users are reporting performance issues with browsers, seems like all the browsers are adding AI things... seems like a good place to start.)

This is as bad or worse than agreeing to voice search with them.

Hadn't realized we've all been opted-in.

My voice assistant used to be able to create a reminder without siphoning everything out to "must be reviewed because it's AI" remote AI.

Is it possible to use non-AI voice search on YouTube (with GoogleTV) without signing one's life away?

Try voice searching for "weather in [city]" with YT on GTV: it launches another (Google) app instead of just adding text to the search field.

When they asked for suggestions for OpenAI's fork of Chromium, I suggested adding fuzzy and regex search in a drawer and sending it upstream; like vimgrep for Chromium. That would help solve for Search, like the original mission of the company.
