Widespread flex gap support will probably eliminate 95% of grid usage in my apps today: https://caniuse.com/flexbox-gap
And what a surprise, it's just Safari holding us back again. =_=

Really ecstatic to see that it's going to be in Safari soon though! Thank you so much for sharing! Really made my day.
This is why I love Hacker News.
edit: oh and i guess now that i upvoted it it's not grey anymore xD
Safari is not only slow to follow the standards, it is slow to advance the standards. I'd be more likely to believe the spin that Apple just wants to make sure things are done well on the web if it appeared that they were trying as hard to add good, new capabilities to the web platform as they are to add good, new capabilities to iOS.
A engine that isn't Chrome is very essential for keeping the web open
Also essential is for the open web to be competitive with closed alternatives, or the fact that it's open will matter less and less. Apple is quite willing to provide competition for Chrome. It does it with iOS.
Microsoft definitely takes the blame in keeping it poor for so long but this situation is nothing like Safari which has refused to implement standards that already exist, as well as messing with others in unintuitive ways.
Pick some other phrase for "most popular"
Yes, Chrome does this too.
It's slightly better in that it tends to submit them to standards bodies after implementing them, but most of the time that's WHATWG which is a much less democratic body than others, and mostly Google-led. Either way Chrome's market monopoly leave competitors with little choice in the standards process.
HA! Chrome absolutely SUCKS at displaying SVGs. I rarely use them and I've already found two stupid bugs.
One super weird one (probably too much caching) where an animated element in a <use> clone didn't inherit colours while its non-animated siblings do. This one is fixed now.
What isn't fixed yet is that `filter: hue-rotate(90deg)` applied to an SVG child element doesn't do anything (in firefox it does), is a pain in the ass because SVG filters, while more powerful, are much harder to set up.
