Weekly Platform News: PWA Issue on iOS, Performance Culture, Anti-Tracking in Browsers
Apr 21, 2025 am 09:26 AM?ime's weekly webplatform.news updates provide developers with timely news on web development standards and supporting tools. This week's highlights include challenges with iOS PWAs, a case study on building a performance culture, and Microsoft's plans for enhanced tracking prevention in Edge.
iOS PWA Restart Issues
Maximiliano Firtman highlights a significant problem: Installed PWAs on iOS cannot be reliably restarted. Closing and reopening them from the recent apps list simply restores the previous state, potentially leaving users stuck if the PWA malfunctions. This issue is further complicated by problems with file input types, which cease to function after backgrounding the app, requiring a full device restart to resolve. While the saved context eventually disappears, requiring a complete restart after a period of inactivity, this isn't a reliable solution.
Cultivating a Performance-Driven Culture at The Telegraph
Gareth Clubb shares The Telegraph's experience in improving website performance. They established a dedicated web performance working group to address systemic issues and foster a performance-centric culture. A key strategy involved deferring all JavaScript using the defer
attribute, resulting in a near doubling of their Lighthouse performance score without negatively impacting analytics or advertising. They also removed 1MB of third-party code, implementing a rigorous testing process for new scripts to prevent performance regressions. The proactive removal of untraceable legacy scripts proved successful, as no one contacted them to reinstate them.
Microsoft's Anti-Tracking Plans for Edge
Microsoft's plans to incorporate enhanced tracking prevention in Edge are detailed by Kyle Pflug. This will include automatic blocking of malicious trackers, with an optional setting to block all potential trackers. This addition would make Edge the fourth major browser with built-in anti-tracking capabilities, following Firefox's Content Blocking (formerly Tracking Protection), Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), and Samsung Internet's Smart Anti-Tracking.

CSS blocks page rendering because browsers view inline and external CSS as key resources by default, especially with imported stylesheets, header large amounts of inline CSS, and unoptimized media query styles. 1. Extract critical CSS and embed it into HTML; 2. Delay loading non-critical CSS through JavaScript; 3. Use media attributes to optimize loading such as print styles; 4. Compress and merge CSS to reduce requests. It is recommended to use tools to extract key CSS, combine rel="preload" asynchronous loading, and use media delayed loading reasonably to avoid excessive splitting and complex script control.

Autoprefixer is a tool that automatically adds vendor prefixes to CSS attributes based on the target browser scope. 1. It solves the problem of manually maintaining prefixes with errors; 2. Work through the PostCSS plug-in form, parse CSS, analyze attributes that need to be prefixed, and generate code according to configuration; 3. The usage steps include installing plug-ins, setting browserslist, and enabling them in the build process; 4. Notes include not manually adding prefixes, keeping configuration updates, prefixes not all attributes, and it is recommended to use them with the preprocessor.

The scope of CSS custom properties depends on the context of their declaration, global variables are usually defined in :root, while local variables are defined within a specific selector for componentization and isolation of styles. For example, variables defined in the .card class are only available for elements that match the class and their children. Best practices include: 1. Use: root to define global variables such as topic color; 2. Define local variables inside the component to implement encapsulation; 3. Avoid repeatedly declaring the same variable; 4. Pay attention to the coverage problems that may be caused by selector specificity. Additionally, CSS variables are case sensitive and should be defined before use to avoid errors. If the variable is undefined or the reference fails, the fallback value or default value initial will be used. Debug can be done through the browser developer

To create an intrinsic responsive grid layout, the core method is to use CSSGrid's repeat(auto-fit,minmax()) mode; 1. Set grid-template-columns:repeat(auto-fit,minmax(200px,1fr)) to let the browser automatically adjust the number of columns and limit the minimum and maximum widths of each column; 2. Use gap to control grid spacing; 3. The container should be set to relative units such as width:100%, and use box-sizing:border-box to avoid width calculation errors and center them with margin:auto; 4. Optionally set the row height and content alignment to improve visual consistency, such as row
