while this autocorrect attribute can allow web developers to specify whether this auto-correction behavior should be applied to a given from or HTML field.

Hu? Shouldn't the user be the one to decide if he wants auto-correct or not?

Some input types (like file names or coupon codes) shouldn't be spell checked.

Windows users with Firefox 134 meanwhile now have H.265/HEVC hardware accelerated support...

We already had HEVC decoding on Windows with supported hardware?

the HTML developer decides if autocorrect is sensible for the input field, then the user may decide if he/she wants autocorrect

Surprisingly,

Well, fuck you Mozilla for offering hardware accelerated HEVC decoding just for Windows user!
I've set my phone to record the 4K @ 60 FPS videos in HEVC (H.265) instead of AVC (H.264) and I'm not willing to go back from that or to convert my collection of personal videos.
So screw you suggesting me that I should use the codec with the worse quality and bigger file size or to convert them, which of course will also mean worse quality!

But hey, lets reward the CEO with a huge monthly salary...
