Great, yet another feature Firefox doesn't support... I really try to not use Chrome, but I run into this sort of issue a lot.

From https://caniuse.com/css-anchor-positioning you'll see "All major browser engines are working on implementing this spec.".

Not all browsers implement the same features at the same time. Firefox releases some features before Chrome, so it goes both ways.

Firefox is actively working on an implementation of this to be fair (source: I work on Servo and we have been accepting a steady stream of anchor positioning changes from our upstream stylo component)

If this accepts Firefox and Safari then it could be a great addition to "intro to web dev" tutorials CSS Flex https://flexboxfroggy.com/ CSS Grid https://cssgridgarden.com/ CSS selectors https://flukeout.github.io/

Same creator as the first two, Thomas Park. Looks like he's started a series of these, but they're all paywalled except those three: https://codepip.com/games/

When will they realize that layout is fundamentally a linear problem, which only needs a "constraint" as a building block?

That all these stupid width-basis-fit-minmax-fr-anchor-span combinations boil down to "Σ(aₙxₙ) ≤ b" and a couple of specialized distributors?

How many half-assed incantations and reiterations it will take?

Jesus Christ.

Neat. The museum framing is cute, and well executed with the footsteps sound between levels. On level 20, if I set `position-try-fallbacks: flip-inline;` and drag the anchor to the top, something weird happens: the label stays on top, but is also mirrored below the anchor, except with no text or background, just a border and a translucent frame. Latest Chrome (on Ubuntu, but I don't think that matters here). Is this…

What do you mean by cute?
