Some of the features, like mesh gradient have polyfills.
Polyfills are the only way this chicken and egg problem will be solved, if widely used browser vendors will eventually implement the standards.
- jancsika 10y agoI'm only speculating, but the problem may be the complexity of the paint server interface. Using it requires FuncIRIs which-- as one commenter on another thread pointed out-- can cause name collisions with inline SVGs. You could of course abstract away that problem with javascript post-processing-- but then you have yet more complexity, this time for a problem that doesn't exist in the domain of CSS. That limits the expressivity of the feature. For example, I wouldn't be able to just play around with SVG mesh gradients inside about:blank in Firefox due to a deeper problem with resolving FuncIRIs. Whereas I can trivially create a CSS gradient there and experiment with them.
