Keynote: 2018 State of the Web
summary
Service Workers are now supported across major browsers including Safari and Edge and deliver concrete wins — Google Search gets 2× speed on Chrome for Android; low‑end devices render JavaScript 4–6× slower so payload and JS bloat matter. Progressive Web Apps ship tiny installs (Pinterest <200KB, Twitter similar), use Workbox for caching, and add offline reliability, Add to Home Screen, Payment Request and Autocomplete to lift conversions. New web APIs — WebUSB, Web Bluetooth, Generic Sensor, MediaSession, Download Manager, screen sharing and WebAssembly — enable native integrations and real, shipping features.
