URLPattern ignoreCase is about to ship in Chromium, so we just prepared a new version of the polyfill with the same feature - get it today!
npmjs.com/package/urlpattern…
Thanks to Sayan Pal for the PR and @wanderview for the updated WPT tests which found one issue which is now fixed!
Case insensitive matching is coming to URLPattern in chromium 107. Many thanks to @Sayan751 for writing the spec and polyfill updates!

Browsers can do a better job helping users understand sites' capabilities, and a better job mediating sites' requests for more powerful features. If you're interested in helping Chrome do better than Block/Allow dialogs, g.co/kgs/2TE3Xi is the job for you.
ALT Permission dialog boxes ("permission.site wants to know your location: block/allow") are pervasive, and we can do better.

CHIPS (our proposal for opt-in-by-embeddee partitioned cookies) is getting ready for prime-time. 😍
Love the excellent articles and graphics by @bibydigital !
What is CHIPS?
Spoiler: a mechanism to allow developers to opt-in a cookie to "partitioned" storage, with a separate cookie jar per top-level site.
👍🙏📢 Brilliant article from @bibydigital.

My one regret in working remote is that I've never been able to take part in consuming any of the cakes browser vendors send each other. xitter.cf/overholt/status/149223…
The tradition of web browser vendors sending each other cakes continues with our friends at @googlechrome congratulating @Firefox for shipping (on desktop) Fission, our site isolation project on desktop! h/t @miketaylr
