    Don't make Google sell Chrome

    Google's potential sale of Chrome, due to ad-market monopoly charges, could harm the web by empowering closed platforms like iOS and Play Store. Chrome's success stems from innovation, not acquisition, and it plays a crucial role in web advancements. Losing Chrome's development could stagnate the web and benefit proprietary platforms. Continued investment in Chrome is vital for maintaining its value and keeping the web open and competitive.

    We can finally move elements in the browser with the moveBefore() API

    The newly announced moveBefore() API enables developers to easily reposition DOM elements while preserving their state, which is especially valuable for web applications with complex animations. Chrome 133+ currently supports this API, but it is anticipated to be adopted by other browsers like Safari and Firefox in the future. The moveBefore() API offers advantages over traditional methods like appendChild() and insertBefore() that require removing and reinserting elements, often leading to state loss.
