Attached: 1 image When you scroll a 2D scroller on the web, the browser may ignore some minor scroll deltas in the non-main scrolling axis when the user’s intent was to scroll only one axis. While helpful most of the time, this “railing” sometimes gets in the way … and with `scroll-axis-lock: none`, you can soon remove it 😊 https://brm.us/scroll-axis-lock

Adam Argyle @argyleink.front-end.social.ap.brid.gy · 10/08/2026

Unlock Immediate Diagonal Scrolling with CSS scroll-axis-lock: none
When you scroll a 2D scroller on a website, the browser does a lot of work behind the scenes to keep you on track. One of the things it typically does is scroll axis-locking _(aka “railing”)_ , ignoring some minor scroll deltas in the non-main scrolling axis. While helpful, this sometimes can get in the way of what you intend. With the new CSS `scroll-axis-lock` property you can disable the browser's default scroll axis-locking behavior, allowing users to immediately perform a diagonal scroll.

what if @property variables when defined could say like: `will-change: false` and essentially become a const conversely… what if you could say `will-change: true` and hint that you want this <number> to be on the accelerated animation path? aka: i want typed prop animations on the fast path
