I mean this reaks of desparation. It's not too surprising given their marketshare (at least among Wikipedia readers) is a below Firefox, which is already pretty low.

Observations by Scott Heiferman after he sold his dotcom company in 1999 and went to work at McDonald’s:
"""
he looked at my resume and asked about my job as chairman at i-traffic. i said, "it's an internet thing." he said "ok" and then asked me for my waist size.1. most of my mcdonald’s co-workers did their jobs much better than i ever could.

False modesty a tautology?
"""
Sally is a skilled musician but does not [know] she is exceptional. She may talk endlessly about her skills [which] may make others feel bad about their lesser ability. If she realized this, she can avoid [that] in the interest of modesty.[So,] we think a modest person thinks less of themself [but], McMullin argues, paradoxically, to be modest, you must [first] realize you surpass others, [to] then act [modest].

Oh my,
a web component?
on jquery dot com?minibar is a 2kB standalone search widget. Accessible and progressively-enhancing (works without JavaScript!). An alternative to the popular 100kB DocSearch.js widget.
It goes well with Typesense, an awesome FLOSS open-source alternative to Algolia. And it's (if you want, and yes we do) self-hostable!

Let's Encrypt transitions revocation program from OCSP to CRL.
Why? Browsers have also switched browser-side checks (back) to CRL, after 10 years trying OCSP. It's all about privacy and performance.
Until recently, your browser had to request data from the CA (eg DigiCert, Sectigo), which means they can know your sites and browsing/device habits. CRL solves this.
