    • Propose patch to remove `quinn-udp`'s dependency on `tracing-attributes`. One less dependency to audit for milestone 1.

    • Debug false positive CI check, requiring `safe-to-deploy` audit for `tokio` crate. See Phabricator comment.

    • Tested https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche/pull/1764 as an alternative to `quinn-udp`. We will proceed with `quinn-udp` given that it supports all the Firefox tier 1 platforms.

  • Performance work: 

    • [acreskey] Bug 1889771 - Increase network.http.max-connections on Android nightly (currently 40 (900 on desktop))

        • http channel page open to first_sent

        • http channel sub item open to first sent

        • transaction wait time

      • Backed out to double-check impact.

      • Proposal:

        • Land os-limits telemetry

        • Increase in nightly, 128 sockets (beta & earlier)

        • Uplift to beta to observe impact of single change

        • Consider Fenix release population experiment

    • New experiments:

      • Performance Calibration (A/A/A) on Fenix, live (release channel might be affected, some probes)

        • [acreskey] Completed and summarized:

          • Fenix Performance Calibration results

        • Some red. Lots and lots of big green through

        • Filtering to speedindex looks even better. 100% green for FCP and FirstVisualChange. LCP is good, though not all green.

        • Pushed tries for a patch that leaves things on MainThread if the compressed size is known and is small (512 and 1024 bytes). This could avoid overhead in cases where decompression is almost certainly very short. 

          • 512 shows improvement of 1-7% on 4 sites (of 30)

          • 1024 shows improvement of 1-3.5% on 5 sites, regression of 1-3% on 2 sites.

          • Planning to land with 512; includes a pref for size

  •  Bug 1420777 - Http/2 connection reuse to non-origin server for new hostname on DNS overlap was finally resolved, which fixes an annoying corner case for many developers. 

    • Backed out, Valentin will resolve and reland

    • May need to work with IT to get to bottom of it

  • [acreskey] FYI: tooling to extract and compare PerfStats from local browsertime comparison runs:

  • https://github.com/acreskeyMoz/perfstats_from_browsertime/blob/main/README.md

  • NEL, can impl on our end and let CF know once ready and review telemetry

    • No need to schedule and coordinate

    • Send JSON to server if something goes wrong loading the page

    • If we find privacy leaks we will not send the data, anything we send is better than nothing.

    • Target in H2 2024, be nice to get it in

  • 103 Early Hints can be used to break adblocking (thread)

    • https://github.com/Mechazawa/103-early-anti-adblock 

    • I don't see a good outcome here.  Chrome lets sites exfiltrate data with prefetch; we allow sites to detect blocking of exfiltration with prefetch.  We're going to have to change how prefetch works to manage this, I think.

        • No clear signal of improvements to top-level metrics for increasing # of speculative sockets and similarly no regression detected in top-level metrics for disabling rel=preconnect

        • Experiments page updated: https://mozilla-hub.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FIREFOX/pages/11047744/Experiments+Necko#Conclusions

        • Worth considering that significant changes in top-level metrics may take numerous improvements to be measurable in the wild.

    • Yeah, looking at the bug I see that consolidating seems to break continuity in the existing probes. I think it's fair to keep them separate for now. I think we'll still be able to draw meaningful conclusions from separate sources

    • Any concerns if we leave it as is?

  • (vg) WebSocketStream · Issue 970 · mozillastandards-positions

    • Orange on mochitests on Try, debugging (all pass locally)

• [valentin] jschanck: Hi all, I plan to enable the X25519+Kyber768 key agreement mechanism for TLS 1.3 over TCP on the desktop Nightly channel on Monday. This is the first step in our migration to post-quantum cryptography, and I think it's (very!) important. However, we may see some negative performance impact on the tails due to Kyber's large public keys (1184 bytes sent by the client) and ciphertexts (1088 bytes sent by the server). Please reach out if you hear any reports of breakage or performance issues. The mechanism can be disabled by setting security.tls.enable_kyber to false. (dev-platform, Bug 1878725)

• [valentin] Bug 1824218 - Captive portal login tab does not get closed automatically

  • I happened to look through this report (even though I don’t have a lot of experience with the UI parts of captive-portal). I think this patch should reduce the number of reports from users who’s windows don’t close because of the race.

Meeting 2024-02-06

• Manuel Bucher gave a talk at FOSDEM this weekend “Debugging HTTP/3 upload speed in Firefox”. Recording should be available soon: https://video.fosdem.org/2024/h1302/ 

  • Slides available at https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-1873-debugging-http-3-upload-speed-in-firefox/

• We’ve had to backout 1603699 - Enable DefaultURI use for unknown schemes due to breaking some protocol handlers.

  • Some older websites use a protocol format that don’t conform to the URL standard (example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed2k_URI_scheme#File_link_format )

  • We will try to enable this feature again, but add an allow list for known schemes that are broken.

• Contributor Max Inden has been making some great contributions to neqo lately.

Meeting 2024-01-30

• Valentin: Following discussions in the previous meetings we decided we want to start publishing public meeting notes again, to increase visibility of the team’s achievements.

  • The team’s meeting document will include a Public section. Add all of your updates there.

  • After the meeting one team member will upload this section to https://github.com/mozilla-necko/meeting-notes/ 

  • I’ve built a simple web-extension to upload clipboard contents to github.

    • Copy the contents of this section to the clipboard

    • Click webextension to upload to github

    • (optional) Update file title and contents.

    • DEMO

• Valentin: 1874137 - (necko-pref-flips) meta Tracking bug for necko pref flips 

  • We sometimes land fixed/features preffed-off and forget to turn them back on

  • We should start tracking these prefs and make sure to enable them as soon as possible to avoid issues. I’ve created a confluence page to define a process for tracking such prefs.

  • Could use timer additionally: Reminder Functionality in Bugzilla (via Autonag Bot), Example usage: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1841061

• Manuel: 103 Early Hints preload (riding the trains, target: Fx123)

  • Sent out Intent to ship

  • Bug 1875268 - Fixed critical bug – uplifted to beta Fx123

  • Make sure added to release notes, mention to #web-performance-slack

• Bug 1868987 comment 20 HTTP/2 upload canceled due to ping timeout

  • Same problem as 12 years ago: Bug 790184 comment 11 and following. Workaround turned into the HTTP/2 upload problem we fixed last year.

  • Need help to figure out exactly what we want to do to handle 

• Fosdem in Feb 3-4 https://fosdem.org/2024/
