I’m surprised it’s not in Firefox. I don’t remember the last time I ran into something in Safari and Chrome but not FF.

I was reading the article and thinking it would be a great thing to adopt for some code we recently wrote, but we have to support Firefox. And since we already have an existing solution that works, no point cleaning it up with this until Firefox adopts it.

Still, looks like a very nice feature.

It’s not especially uncommon. For instance payment requests, web share, and remote playback are all implemented by Blink and WebKit but not Gecko.

I occasionally look into what CSS is being transcoded for the projects I work on, and it’s normally Firefox ESR that needs the most help. If you eliminate that from your browserlists configuration, your source and deployed CSS become a lot more closely aligned. For instance, it was only a year ago that Firefox ESR got CSS nesting.

IIRC Firefox lagged quite a lot on Color Profiles and :has
