One interesting thing covered in the Ladybird monthly update videos, is that most of the web platform tests are text encoding tests for Asian languages.

If you remove them, Ladybird is closer to 60% and Servo to 50%.

Still good, and the point still stands that they are making amazing progress. But probably more accurate because that last 10%-20% are going to get harder to chip away at.

That's interesting and it explains why the wpt.fyi website doesn't show a percentage but instead the number of tests.

There are tons of other examples of these easy points in the test suite. Ofc text encoding tests are important if we want the internet to truly be global

I guess these percentages are kinda useless by themselves but still useful to track progress when you put them together in a historical graph

Yeah it's crazy that they don't weight the tests. AVIF support is 1 test, whereas WebCryptoAPI is 50k.

AVIF support is irrelevant. JPEG, PNG and soon JPEG XL is all you need.
