💀 Oh, that’s an interesting @webkit bug: #212757 — Performance degraded from 10th May after users migrated to iOS 13.4 or up on iPhone Mobile Safari: https://t.co/TxLmg6kTF1. Personally I haven’t noticed it as a user, but it shows up in RUM data.

@mahemoff I would appreciate a switch “mother tongue — Englishâ€, where all the false friends mean what you think they mean. Like I would select “en-DEâ€,
and “eventual†would always mean “vaguely possibleâ€, and not “finalâ€.
