⁷ If you'd like more details about TCP, here's a great introduction: ⁷ Technically, this is only true in idealized circumstances and if you have 0-RTT enabled. If your requests are not idempotent, you probably should stick with 1-RTT. A TCP handshake actually involves one additional round-trip, so you could probably start off with a 30-kilobyte window on HTTP/2 with 0-RTT. HTTP/3 servers with 0-RTT do use a true "zero-round-trip" connection, but they use QUIC instead of TCP. QUIC uses similar sizing logic but I'm not sure about the exact values.

⁸ Iterating through a list of font names to see if each one is available on a user's system is a slow but effective way to determine installed fonts without being granted permission to use the Font Access API. BrowserLeaks has a demo of this approach. ⁸ Iterating through a list of font names to see if each one is available on a user's system is a slow but effective way to determine installed fonts without being granted permission to use the Font Access API.

[^5]: One example is a utility class for the `image-rendering` property. I use it on images that look better with `pixelated` rendering. This is a property of the image contents, not the image semantics or placement; a class makes sense. [^5]: One example is a utility class for the `image-rendering` property.

[^7]: This one-kilobyte limit is a semi-arbitrary rule-of-thumb I came up with. It's a simple number easier to work with than the number of bytes remaining in the earliest contentful round-trip, yet it typically falls within that quota.
