Centering like this can make your element blurry on non-hidpi screens, because transforms are not snapped to the pixel grid like layout properties, and 50% can sometimes land on a subpixel

Is this still relevant? I thought browsers had proper support for sub-pixels now.

I think this was exclusive to Chrome.

Seems like they managed to kinda fix it in some cases, but some of the reproductions provided in the issue tracker are still working, so I would be careful

What do you do when position isn’t absolute?

Then I use one of the approaches listed. However, I find that usually I want absolute positioning when centering either horizontally or vertically.

I was kinda surprised that this method wasn't included in the article. While I use flexbox for centering most of the time, I still find myself resorting to the absolute positioning way sometimes.
