Our Reading
The update arrives with confidence.
Google’s new HTTP/3 protocol takes a “stateless” approach to session IDs, because who needs state when you can just reinvent the wheel? The new system is similar to how most ordinary websites already work, but hey, at least it’s new. The change is expected to improve performance and security, because that’s what all updates promise. The rollout is planned for the coming months, giving developers ample time to learn what they already knew.
The protocol is getting a makeover, and by “makeover,” we mean it’s adopting a 20-year-old approach to session IDs.
