CSS highlights include name-only container queries, lazy loading for video/audio elements, the new `revert-rule` keyword, `at-rule()` for feature detection, and `text-decoration-skip-ink: all`. On the Web API side, notable additions are the Prompt API for on-device AI (text, image, audio), SharedWorker re-enabled on Android with an extended lifetime option, Web Serial API on Android, WebGPU linear_indexing, Web Authentication Immediate UI mode, and WebRTC `alwaysNegotiateDataChannels`. New origin trials include HTML-in-canvas, Container Timing, Declarative CSS Module Scripts, OpaqueRange, and Agentic Federated Login. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
