The main thing I'm excited about is the new `Bun.Webview` feature, especially as a replacement for things like Puppeteer or Playwright.

This is especially exciting

I'm unsure how to handle the title, since it misrepresents the content of an otherwise interesting article. I know there's HN etiquette around editorializing, so I submitted as is.

As someone who's been working on a file upload service for a while, this is the only real way to download very large files on Firefox.

The file system access API is a great way to write chunks of a file at a gime, but for now Firefox doesn't support it

at my job, it's part of company culture to praise people publicly whenever they're doing great work. it's a great way of knowing you're on the right path.
