The   CSS Working Group   published the   CSS Snapshot 2024   as a Group Note. This document collects together into one definition all the specifications that together form the current state of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) as of 2024. The primary audience is CSS implementers, not CSS authors, as this definition includes modules by specification stability, not Web browser adoption rate.  When the first CSS specification was published, all of CSS was contained in one document that defined CSS Level 1. CSS Level 2 was defined also by a single, multi-chapter document. However for CSS beyond Level 2, the CSS Working Group chose to adopt a modular approach, where each module defines a part of CSS, rather than to define a single monolithic specification. This breaks the specification into more manageable chunks and allows more immediate, incremental improvement to CSS.  Since different CSS modules are at different levels of stability, the CSS Working Group has cho...

W3C is working on a deconstructed mini-workshop series to review proposals aimed at combating misinformation on the web. Based on discussions at TPAC 2024 ( Originator Profile   and   Content Authenticity ) and in the   W3C Strategy Team , there is clear interest in investigating how several proposals in this space can contribute and what standardization support they might need.  The  Credible Web Community Group  will host this deconstructed mini-workshop series to discuss a project framework for assessing tooling in the authentic web ecosystem. The first session, scheduled for  12 March 2025 , will review the framework and discuss how to move proposals to interoperable standards to combat misinformation on the web.  Attendance is free for all participants and is open to the public, whether or not W3C members.

Here are some recent updates and best practices to consider: 1.

This includes scenarios where sites host content from third parties that don't align with their primary focus.

Search engines have come a long way from their humble beginnings, evolving from basic keyword matchers to AI-driven platforms that understand user intent, context, and even emotions. As technology advances at an unprecedented pace, the future of search engines will be shaped by artificial intelligence, voice search, decentralized search models, and an increasing focus on personalization and privacy. Let’s explore what lies ahead. 1. AI-Powered Search and Machine Learning Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already revolutionizing search engines through Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning. Google’s algorithms, such as BERT and MUM, aim to understand context rather than just keywords, providing users with more accurate and relevant results. In the future, AI will continue to refine search results, predict user intent, and personalize responses based on past interactions. 2. Voice and Visual Search Take Center Stage Voice search has already gained traction with virtual assi...
