@johnwilander @RickByers @FiloSottile The state of the art may well have advanced. As I wrote, I don’t know where we are with this now. Maybe the original author, @FiloSottile, does?!

@henrylim96 I’m still getting used to it. But I think I could like it.

@sergiomdgomes It’s definitely early days. For me, the service has not worked reliably yet. It gets stuck too often and the device thinks it’s offline. They are probably still working on scaling this up.

Testing Apple’s new Private Relay service:
- Choose “Preserve Approximate Location” and “Use Broader Location” in iCloud settings and turn it on/off.
- Choose “Trackers and Websites”, “Trackers Only”, “Off” in Safari settings.

@TheRealNooshu @lorenzoraffio The service is still very shaky. It works fine most of the times, and then your device thinks it’s entirely offline the next moment. Cycling through airplane mode to force a new relay connection seems to fix it sometimes, b

The `accent-color` CSS property is shipping (if the intent goes through) and it will make form controls look dope. I’m using it in an upcoming app, and I am staying with the unstyled controls, apart from the accent color. 🎨🎚 https://t.co/7314fdbde
