Connector lines not showing in Firefox.

Nothing but Chromiums support this, but it should be happening in the not too distant future: https://caniuse.com/css-anchor-positioning

Safari also has not yet implemented it and they want to wait for it to become stable then implement it.

I mean, the article starts by explaining the fact CSS anchors was pushed as a chrome feature. Only browsers that inherit from it by default will have this.

Or has it perhaps been accepted as a specification, but Blink-based browsers implemented it first?

Even as a suggestion that this is hardly pushed as a Chrome feature?

The article doesn't mention that it's not supported by other browsers. The two things (pushed by chrome / unsupported by others) are not consequential.

If you don't clearly state it and people start using the shiny new thing you're hindering the few alternative browsers out there.
