Me too, especially when it applies changes without my permission and then apologizes for "jumping the gun". I assume that's how they're trained.

MDN's browser compatibility table for the HTML popover attribute. Its columns cover desktop and mobile browsers, showing which versions support the attribute and its "hint" value. A "Settings" button sits above the table.

The Browser compatibility settings dialog on MDN. Browsers appear as chips grouped under Desktop, Mobile, Server and XR, and each one can be added to or removed from the table.

“which is working it's way through the Working Group now” Is the default UA styling meant to be the same in all browsers? I mean, if the WG decides to adopt Safari’s version, will Chrome have to change its current styles?

I really like Stylebot for this. I've set up the following CSS, applied to *all* web pages, to differentiate between the lower-case 'L' and the upper-case 'i': html { font-feature-settings: "ss02" 1, "cv05" 1, "cv08" 1, "zero" 1 } For Bluesky, I'm using this selector: `[class*="css-"]`.

A screenshot of the post I'm replying to, where you can tell the difference between the lowercase 'L' and the uppercase 'i'.

You don’t need initial-scale in your HTML. Vale and ppk 🇪🇺 published the same finding hours apart: the <meta name="viewport"> element only needs width=device-width, and Safari no longer needs the hint. #html #browser vale.rocks/micros/20... quirksmode.org/quirk...

One thing that I'm particularly delighted about was a great GitHub engineer partnering with the accessibility team to quietly push this out. A lot of people use GitHub via the command line and email, and folks there often forget it: github.blog/engineering/... www.osnews.com/story/144892...

Designers should be more container query aware. it's a team responsibility for devs and design together. The "I can't do that in Figma" should not be a blocker. "Design component based", learn basic capabilities such as length units available in the browser. Know the medium you design for. #webexpo

It’s a shame, but I genuinely want to believe that most people don’t do it on purpose because they don’t care, but rather because of a lack of awareness and education.

A really common user interface pattern is a big clickable area, such as a card. Sometimes you need controls within that card that are also clickable. There's lots of ways to do it wrong, but fret not, @ericwbailey.website is here to show you how to do it right. piccalil.li/blog/accessi...

Ow yeah! 😎 FYI: you can start using customizable select *TODAY* because it is the perfect progressive enhancement: in browser with no support you get the status quo which is just a regular select (which you can also style up to a certain extent).
