Contributing to MDN: Meet the Contributors
If you’ve ever built anything with web technologies, you’re probably familiar with MDN Web Docs. With about 13,000 pages documenting how to use programming languages such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript, the site has about 8,000 people using it at any given moment. MDN relies on contributors to help maintain its ever-expanding and up to date documentation. We reached out to 4 long-time community contributors to talk about how and why they started contributing, why they kept going, and ask what advice they have for new contributors.The post Contributing to MDN: Meet the Contributors appeared first on Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog.

WebAssembly and Back Again: Fine-Grained Sandboxing in Firefox 95
In Firefox 95, we're shipping a novel sandboxing technology called RLBox — developed in collaboration with researchers at the University of California San Diego and the University of Texas — that makes it easy and efficient to isolate subcomponents to make the browser more secure. This technology opens up new opportunities beyond what's been possible with traditional process-based sandboxing, and we look forward to expanding its usage and (hopefully) seeing it adopted in other browsers and software projects.The post WebAssembly and Back Again: Fine-Grained Sandboxing in Firefox 95 appeared first on Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog.
