Btw you donโ€™t need to be a web spec author or work for a browser vendor to contribute to this.

If you spot some incorrect data (either says it supports web it doesnโ€™t, or says it doesnโ€™t when it does) then open an issue โ€” or better yet a PR! Make things better for everyone, including future you!!

Did you know that AVIF (the AV1 Image File Format) was supported in all the major browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome/Edge)?
This has been the case for almost 2 years at this point.

How a Shared Test Suite Fixed the Webโ€™s Biggest Problems The story of Web Platform Tests (WPT), the collaborative test suite that transformed the web from an inconsistent platform into a stable one.

A few years ago I started writing about evolving web standards and @rbyers.net suggested I should cover WPT: the web platform tests project that most people working with the web have a vague idea about that has evolved into an engine of interoperability. since then, I've been tracking people down

Browserslist now supports Baseline ย |ย  Blog ย |ย  web.dev Browserslist has added support for Baseline queries. Find out what that could mean for your developer workflow.

Before, you needed a plugin to use Baseline semantics in your Browserslist queries. Now you don't!

Just give it a target like `baseline widely available` and it'll work out of the box

Available in browserslist@4.26.0 and later

I know some people in the web community are concerned that Baseline will discourage devs from using new featuresโ€”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 ๐Ÿงต

๐ŸŽ‰ Happy 30-month anniversary to Container Queries โ€“ 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.

I LOVE this โ€ฆChart of Shame on webstatus.dev/stats โ€œFeatures missing in only one browserโ€.

Even lets you click on individual data points and see which features each browser is holding the Web back from!

Hopefully it will motivate implementations of these features!
