They keep them grouped together though. If you look closely, they’re in the same bubble while firefox is in another one. Probably shows both for the convenience of most devs.
(also Microsoft being Microsoft might shoehorn in some feature no other normal browser would just because)
toplevel-tag support finally, yay! I’ve been wanting to use it in window rules to fix some windows that don’t go into floating mode properly and title isn’t good enough to target them. Been waiting for it for months.
Ok this is funny. Like “look bro, we rewrote bun in Rust because it’s ✨Safe✨ and all that”, and they’re not even trying lmao
In all seriousness, part of that issue probably comes from the original code already ignoring the safety features of Zig, and whatever LLM they used to port it just doing the most half-assed thing and doing a literal translation of the code.
The future of software development, ladies and gentlemen
Edit: rust safety
Yes I know unsafe in rust doesn’t mean unsafe code, it just that the compiler trusts you to correctly use the interfaces and references since it won’t check them inside such blocks
