Safari 26 beta! webkit.org/blog/16993/n...

Have you ever tried using color contrast tools backed by the WCAG 2 contrast algorithm (probably didn’t realize) — and then wonder “WHY IN THE WORLD DOES BLACK ON MEDIUM BLUE PASS WHILE WHITE ON MEDIUM BLUE FAILS?” You aren’t the only one. Learn what’s going on: webkit.org/blog/16929/c...

Have you ever wished the browser would look at a background color and pick black or white for the text — whichever one provides more contrast? Now, the `constrast-color()` function in CSS does just that. webkit.org/blog/16929/c...

If you use `lh` units in your CSS, you can start to establish vertical rhythm in your web designs. Learn how in this short & easy tutorial. webkit.org/blog/16831/l...

I’m super excited about `text-wrap: pretty`. It does a lot more to improve typography than you might expect — at least in Safari Technology Preview 216. It improves all lines of text, not just the last 4. It enhances hyphenation & rag, not just avoiding short last lines. webkit.org/blog/16547/b...

Are you excited for masonry layouts in CSS? Wondering what’s happening? Well, a third option is emerging. One that unifies the `flex-flow` and `grid-auto-flow` properties into a whole new mechanism — Item Flow. Learn what it is, and what it means for Flexbox and Grid in webkit.org/blog/16587/i...

Web Push is exciting. But it requires service workers and a bunch of custom code that can be different from project to project. How about instead we standardize on using JSON & leave JavaScript out of it! Meet Declarative Web Push. Available in iOS and iPadOS 18.4 beta. webkit.org/blog/16535/m...
