Last year was a bumper year for CSS. The Interop 2022 initiative gathered all of the major browser vendors, and other stakeholders, to solve the top browsers compatibility issues identified by web developers.
A lot of new, significant features were shipped including the most coveted features: container queries and the “parent” selector. Also, some bugs and compatibility issues were addressed for existing features. 🤩
You can see a summary of the Interop 2022 achievements below.
Thank you to those who worked hard to deliver those features amongst others. 🙏

- Regions
- Standardised multi-line
- Mixins & extends
