A lot of good (if long-awaited) changes in there, like smooth scrolling. Interesting to see how hard they're pushing the fact that they are the first browser to implement a bunch of features.
- alwillis 5y agoIf you go back, you’ll see this highlighted by Apple when they’re first, which happens more often than the prevailing narrative would suggest.
- andybak 5y agoWeb developers are interested in the features that are widely supported. "Being first" helps no one.
- doctor_eval 5y agoUnless you’re Chrome, in which case it’s really great. /s
- alwillis 5y agoSo true. When Chrome is first with a new CSS feature, it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. When Apple does it, it’s looked at with derision.
- magicalist 5y ago> When Apple does it, it’s looked at with derision. By...who? There's 100 comments in this thread right now and not one is criticizing the new features.

- magicalist 5y agoI can quote the whole thing if you like. > Chrome is first with a new CSS feature, it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. When Apple does it, it’s looked at with derision. So, "new" as in first implementation in a browser.
- doctor_eval 5y agoDerision is not the same as criticism. I was referring to the comment, > Web developers are interested in the features that are widely supported. "Being first" helps no one. which I read as expressing contempt - the very definition of "derisive".
- ryanbrunner 5y agoBeing first is fine so long as you're not last in anything. If you announce that you're the first do to something and you're the only one who hasn't done something else, you're holding back everyone so you can introduce features no one can really use.
- alwillis 5y agoThat’s false. If that were the case, nobody could use new features unless all three major browser engines supported them at the same time and that’s clearly not happening. It’s pretty easy to use @supports to check for feature support. CSS and HTML are pretty resilient with code they don’t understand. Remember Chrome ships things all the time other browsers don’t support but that’s okay for some reason…
- merrywhether 5y agoYou mean features like Portal and FLoC?
