The Selector Stats feature in Edge and Chrome DevTools is now much faster! The feature lists the most costly CSS selectors in the Perf tool. But it used to slow down the recorded page quite a bit, especially for sites with many CSS rules. That's no longer the case! Check it out: buff.ly/tyfOpe5

What's the role of technical documentation and Q&A forums in an age where more and more code gets AI-generated?

Simple access to a built-in AI small language model is now available in Microsoft Edge, as a dev preview. I helped put together the blog, docs, and demos for this and I'm happy this is now out. The team working on this is very interested in your feedback and use cases if you have any.

Hey @css-tricks.com, I really like the Baseline badge integration you've done, but may I suggest linking the "Learn more" link to web-platform-dx.github.io/web-features/ rather than the *.yml source file for a given feature? The yaml file is quite cryptic, and doesn't contain all of the information.

Spent some time experimenting with CSS gap decorations and masonry as they both are getting implemented in chromium right now. I know the world is shit, but the web still rocks and it feels like Christmas playing with those new things.

It’s amazing how differently different browsers and screen reader combinations can behave. I was testing some custom checkboxes in a form and they behaved wildly differently with Chrome + VO, safari + VO and Firefox + NVDA. Remember to check as many browsers as possible, not everyone uses Chrome

The web platform has been missing an imperative way to let users of assistive technology know that something has changed on the page, when no DOM changes occurred. The Aria Notify API aims to bridge that gap. Try it out and let us know what you think!

I take a deep dive into Interop 2025; why the project is there, how it picks what browser features to focus on each year, how well it's doing and what the big areas for this year are - a mix of cleaning up existing features and making sure new features arrive already interoperable

Can you believe this demo uses NO JavaScript!? I'm trying out 2 new web platform features: 1. popover=hint prevents other popovers from closing when opened (landed in Chrome 133) 2. interesttarget to open the comment details on hover/focus (WIP, origin trial, needs work for touchscreen behavior)

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 👀

Whether we want it or not, more and more code gets generated by AI models. What if we trained those models on high-quality code and patterns instead of the entire Internet?

🚀 For the iO tech_hub I wanted to do a little rundown on Interop 2025. Since this initiative came into place, cross-browser developing has become a lot better since the "browser war days". So, Interop 2025: which browser features to get acquainted with this year and why you should care. 🧑‍💻
