Being an old-school web dev is always like "Oh wait, I *can* use container queries now"

There are many goodies that are newly and widely available in Baseline. backdrop-filter is so much fun to work with and I am obsessed with AVIF images and the ability to animate from display: none with @starting-style. And how easy is it to lazy load images now? web.dev/articles/bas...

View Transitions are now in all browsers! They also landed in React! developer.chrome.com/blog/view-tr...

Chrome for Android can now help users adopt passkeys more seamlessly. If a user signs in with a saved password , your website can request that an associated password manager (in many cases on Chrome is Google Password Manager) creates a passkey automatically. developer.chrome.com/blog/automat...

A lot has happened since Chrome shipped Same-Document View Transitions in 2023. In 2024 we shipped Cross-Document VTs, added refinements such as `view-transition-class` and VT Types, and also welcomed Safari in adding VT support. And this year … well, I wrote a post summing it all up.

If we started Chrome Dev Summit again, would you be interested in it? (huh - apparently can't do polls here...), Please reply, Yes or No, or any other answer in between.

Scoped View Transitions are ready for testing in Chrome! SVTs expose el.startViewTransition() on HTML elements. The element creates a scope for the transition, ∴ the transition pseudo-elements are affected by ancestor clips and transforms. Multiple SVTs on separate elements can run *concurrently*.

🎉 Happy 30-month anniversary to Container Queries – in every browser since Feb, 2023. It was supposed to be impossible, but here we are! Why 2.5 years? Nothing will change tomorrow, but Baseline uses this milestone to signal confidence a feature has gained "wide" support. youtu.be/bhHV0rQ3-CQ

I know some people in the web community are concerned that Baseline will discourage devs from using new features—or anything not "Widely Available". Personally, I'm not worried about that at all. If anything, I think Baseline will speed up new feature adoption! Here's why 🧵

What new web features are your users actually ready for? Stop guessing. 🔮 Baseline helps you make data-driven decisions so you can ship the right features at the right time. Learn more and find your target with #WhatsMyBaseline → goo.gle/whats-my-baseline

Here's my talk from I/O along with the companion blog post that rounds up all of the links mentioned. It's been a very exciting year for the web, and all the new Baseline tooling we've just announced can help you understand when to adopt these new features. web.dev/blog/whats-n...

We've just published v5.0.0 of the web-vitals JavaScript library for measuring Core Web Vitals. github.com/GoogleChrome... As a major release, this includes a number of breaking changes as detailed in the upgrading doc: github.com/GoogleChrome... Please read carefully before upgrading. 1/5 🧵

So sad... One of the happiest things about building new CSS features was having Adam build cool stuff with them.

After 6 years of working closely alongside @nerdy.dev I am just rocked by this news. Still not ready to accept it TBH but I stand behind Adam as one of the most genuine, talented, effervescent devs I've ever worked with. If you're hiring snatch him up before I figure out a way to get him back 👀

Adam is the brightest, most authentic, inspiring, truly creative, high performing, deeply passionate, and nice person I have ever worked with. And then my employer decided to terminate his role. I am gutted and sick to my stomach. I will miss you, my friend 💔

It’s a sin that this happened to Adam. A true world class frontend engineer and a world class human. I remember being so excited when we first spoke about him joining Chrome and then talking VisBug. And he’s gone from strength to strength. What an epic own goal.

Someone hire this guy. He's one of the best. Hire him before someone else does.

Browser support info for CSS properties in VS Code is about to get a huge improvement Instead of looking at a list of browser versions and guessing if you can use a feature, now it'll just... tell you! Coming soon to the April 2025 stable release, or you can try it now in Insiders

We don't have an official CrUX Bluesky account, so for the moment I'll announce the monthly releases. And we're starting with a big one! 🆕 The 202501 release is now live on BigQuery! Check out the announcement post for the full info: groups.google.com/a/chromium.o... Highlights below 👇 🧵 1/10

We're shipping the new `Node#moveBefore()` API in Chrome 133! Read more in our latest blog post: developer.chrome.com/blog/movebef... Huge thx to @nomster.bsky.social for help bringing this to life, frameworks that helped test it, and the spec ecosystem for working with us to get it standardized!

For 12 Days of Web I answered a question that I've answered from stage in presentations but not written about: "Why not include polyfills in Baseline?" I also describe how Baseline can help you to decide what and when to polyfill 12daysofweb.dev/2024/how-to-...

Would you want core web vitals In Safari? Can you help me understand how you would use them and why numbers in one browser isn’t enough? (These may sound like silly questions, but I’d love to understand *your* specific context and use cases)

A post about how I try to meet the needs of a browser DevRel team that need to share information about new things, with those of developers who need to know what works now.

My analysis of the State of CSS and State of HTML 2024 surveys: https://patrickbrosset.com/articles/2024-11-08-state-of-css-and-state-of-html-2024/ Some very interesting take aways in there!

More people are using container queries than I realized! This is a great thread listing some of the sites using them in production, and also some graphs that show some clear positive trends 😄

Great post by @joshwcomeau.com on why CSS containment is needed for Container Queries: bsky.app/profile/josh... But I need to somewhat disagree with the premise that "none of us are using them" :) If you look at the data, many popular sites already ship CQs in production! Here's a quick look: 🧵

It's amazing to see how LCP and INP have improved over the past two years by country.

@sachagreif.bsky.social not sure if you're the best person to ping about this, but today I noticed the percentages in the State of HTML survey look off (e.g. the numbers are all very small and don't add up to 100). 2023.stateofhtml.com/en-US/featur... Do you think this may be a bug?

📢 New post: The State of ES5 on the Web. For years, we defaulted to transpiling to ES5 in order to support IE. But is that still necessary? I took a look at the data to find out, and I'll just say that the results were *actually* quite surprising! 🙀 philipwalton.com/articles/the...
