With the release of iOS 10, we’ve made some minor adjustments to the behavior of our fast tapping, and an important change to a very common user interaction: pinch zooming.

The new Riptide garbage collector in WebKit leads to a five-fold improvement in latency in the JetStream/splay-latency test.

Since before your sun burned hot in space and before your race was born, Safari on iOS has required a user gesture to play media in a <video> or <audio> element.

On websites that offer both Flash and HTML5 implementations of content, Safari users will now always experience the modern HTML5 implementation, delivering improved performance and battery life.

We recently replaced all spinlocks, OS-provided mutexes, and condition variables in WebKit with the new WTF::Lock and WTF::Condition — these new primitives have some cool properties.

WebKit on iOS has a 350 millisecond delay before single taps activate links or buttons.

Content Blockers extensions are enjoying a tremendous success on iOS and Mac — especially domain-based blockers.

JetStream 1.1 fixes bugs in two existing tests and adds a new test to replace the oldest and smallest test in the latency component.

Describing content blocking rules in a structured format ahead-of-time, rather than running extension-provided code.

A new JavaScript benchmark test suite that codifies what our de facto process has been — to combine latency and throughput benchmarks.
