Google adds QUIC protocol to latest Chrome build, delivering HTTP over UDP
Google adds QUIC protocol to latest Chrome build, delivering HTTP over UDP
Here are the QUIC highlights Google wants to emphasize right now:
- High security similar to TLS.
- Fast (often 0-RTT) connectivity similar to TLS Snapstart combined with TCP Fast Open.
- Packet pacing to reduce packet loss.
- Packet error correction to reduce retransmission latency.
- UDP transport to avoid TCP head-of-line blocking.
- A connection identifier to reduce reconnections for mobile clients.
- A pluggable congestion control mechanism.
In other words, QUIC is yet another protocol that Google is building to help speed up the Web. It has already done so notably with its SPDY protocol, which is now the foundation of the upcoming HTTP 2.0 protocol.
Chrome DevTools : Authoring & development workflow
Via this Habrahabr article (in Russian) I’ve learned way more about Chrome DevTools than I knew before. Â Code snippets is a useful feature that is available in pretty much every code editor, but seems to be more useful in the environment, where the snippets can actually be executed. Â Also, Workspaces mapping of the resources in the browser session to the local files is a game changer. Â Watch this video to learn even more.

Wait, DevTools could do THAT?
This is an excellent presentation about the Google Chrome built-in DevTools  (click outside the slide to move to the next one).
