Element-scoped view transitions expose startViewTransition() on arbitrary HTML elements, enabling concurrent and nested transitions while keeping the rest of the page interactive. The new CSS contrast-color() function automatically returns black or white based on which provides higher contrast against a given color, aiding accessibility compliance. The CSS border-shape property allows creating non-rectangular borders using arbitrary shapes like polygons, circles, or shape() values, differing from clip-path by decorating the border rather than clipping the entire element. 163 4 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/chrome-for-developers-4ewr3xgb6 "Chrome for Developers") Article Chrome Developers · 22w Chrome for Developers Chrome 148 beta introduces a range of CSS and Web API improvements. 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. 23 1 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/chrome-147-enables-concurrent-and-nested-view-transitions-with-element-scoped-view-transitions-upde1yfse "Chrome 147 enables concurrent and nested view transitions with element-scoped view transitions") Article Chrome Developers · 22w Chrome 147 enables concurrent and nested view transitions with element-scoped view transitions Chrome 147 ships element-scoped view transitions, allowing developers to call \`Element.startViewTransition()\` on a DOM subtree rather than the entire document. This enables multiple view transitions to run concurrently, supports nesting of ongoing transitions, and fixes layering issues with \`position: fixed\` content while keeping the rest of the page interactive. Key behavioral defaults include self-participating scope roots, automatic containment of nested pseudo-elements, overflow clipping, and automatic application of \`contain: layout\` and \`view-transition-scope: all\` on the scope root during transitions. The feature graduated from developer testing in Chrome 140 to stable in Chrome 147 after collaboration with the CSS Working Group. 13 1 [See all Chrome Developers archives](/sources/chrome/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/chrome/best-of/2026/04#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/chrome/best-of/2026/04","name":"Best Chrome Developers Posts — April 2026","description":"The most upvoted Chrome Developers posts from April 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/chrome/best-of/2026/04#items","numberOfItems":3,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/chrome-for-developers-nobq5gd0x","name":"Chrome for Developers"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/chrome-for-developers-4ewr3xgb6","name":"Chrome for Developers"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/chrome-147-enables-concurrent-and-nested-view-transitions-with-element-scoped-view-transitions-upde1yfse","name":"Chrome 147 enables concurrent and nested view transitions with element-scoped view transitions"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Chrome Developers","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/chrome"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/chrome/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"April 2026"}]}]} ```
