Speaking of CSS Specificity, even here things are getting complicated. CSS standard states that there are six origin specificity levels [0]. Certain browser engine removed two of them just two years ago [1]. [0] https://www.w3.

One amusing nitpick: this extension restores the backspace-outside-text-input-elements key press functionality, yet does not restore the shift+backspace counterpart (ATM). Second bitterly amusing fact is that proclaimed drawback of "ac
