Don't know who needs to hear this today, but React isn't the only front-end web development tool.

We are going to spend the next 20 years discovering and dealing with the mental health effects of over-reliance on AI.
Does anyone know if @webdevs.firefox.com DevTools supports the "Live Expressions" feature similar to Chrome? I find this it incredibly useful for watching where focus lies with document.activeElement. Or, is there an equivalent built-in way to watch current focus in Firefox? Thanks!

One “skill” I’ve always had is the ability to pin point a face to a location. When watching movies, I get to use this skill. Somehow my memory forgets important things yet be able to recall the exact movie/tv show they’ve been in. I then Google to confirm 🤣

This is gonna be sooooo useful!!! The ability to see if someone has clicked on the ::backdrop of a dialog vs the actual dialog. if (e.pseudoTarget?.type === '::backdrop') {} github.com/w3c/uievents... github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...
@webdevs.firefox.com 'overflow: clip;' doesn't seem to take effect here. It shows up in DevTools but doesn't do anything. What could I be missing? :where(html:has(dialog:modal[open])) { overflow: clip; } Firefox 🚫 Chrome, Safari ✅ @jakearchibald.com codepen.io/editor/jackw...
Is there a particular reason why in FireFox DevTools, applying !important to a ::slotted() CSS rule fails to apply? Excuse the aspect ratio 😅

Reviewing my CSS "reset" and read @bram.us's post re `overscroll-behavior: contain;`. I currently do the following: html:has(dialog:open) { overflow: clip; } However, with `overscroll-behavior`, I can still technically scroll. Am I misunderstanding `overscroll-behavior`'s use case?
@webdevs.firefox.com Out of curiosity, what’s the typical timeframe for features moving from behind a flag to being enabled by default? (looking at scoped custom element registries hehe) Thanks developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/M...

Spent a few hours today playing with AST and it has been such fun. Couldn't have done it without astexplorer.net Not as scary as I initially thought.

When is :has-slotted coming to Chrome and Safari? 👀 Another Firefox win!
The second Scoped Custom Element registries ships in Firefox, I can see myself setting it as my default again. Very very impressed with it as of recent.

imo coding is a creative process, so *blindly* asking AI to write code for me is a big no-no but the recently announced Modern Web Guidance has an unexpected benefit: the guides are actually very beneficial to read as a human developer! github.com/GoogleChrome... @developer.chrome.com #GoogleIO
🎉 I'm so excited that scoped custom element registries is landing in Chrome and Edge! 🥳 This solves one of the biggest complaints with the web components APIs: the global tag name namespace. Standards is a long game though: I first proposed this in 2017! 😲 developer.chrome.com/blog/scoped-...

Just ran into the issue of two top-layer elements (dialog & popover toast) fighting. Looks like moveBefore() is the current workaround to top-layer battles. Hopefully it lands in Safari soon 👀🫶🏻 @jensimmons.bsky.social
