Ask HN: How do you follow news about browsers?

22 pointsby khebbie6 tahun yang lalu11 comments

The browser world is moving forward very fast it is hard to keep tap on what is going on. For instance I missed this: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2020/07/referrer-p...

Does some kind of site exists that gathers news about browser updates exist?

Not specific to browsers, but subscribing to RSS feeds of tools I use/depend on has been very useful.

On GitHub, for example, you can append "/releases.atom" to repository URLs and subscribe to that in your email client.

Yeah, and specific to the site OP linked, here’s the RSS feed:

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/atom.xml

https://css-tricks.com/ is one of the best sources I know of for new and/or obscure stuff in the Web world, including browsers, frameworks, etc. Despite the name it isn't just CSS.

I'll note that you can subscribe to these in your RSS/atom feed reader (I use a self-hosted FreshRSS augmented by RSSHub).

https://www.chromestatus.com/features.xml

https://webkit.org/feed/atom/

For Firefox there's no feed but RSSHub can make one for you

We attempt to do this (as well as the main specs, independent of browser) with our Frontend Focus publication: https://frontendfoc.us/ – however, you can follow each of the key browsers (especially as there are so few of them now!) directly on Twitter or via blogs as ivank has linked here.

If you want to drink from the firehose, the Planets are a good option

Planet Mozilla: https://planet.mozilla.org/

Planet Webkit: https://planet.webkit.org/

On a non-Planet note, you can keep track with Edge via...

The “Intent to Ship” bot on Twitter[0] tweets the notices from browser makers about their feature changes.

A shame it does not have a rss feed since this is exactly what I was looking for - but thanks
