The feature extends column-rule to grid and flexbox, adds a new row-rule property, and introduces fine-grained controls: repeat() syntax for cycling styles across gaps, rule-break for intersection behavior, rule-inset for extending or shrinking decorations, rule-visibility-items for controlling when rules appear, and animation support for width, color, and insets. Built collaboratively by Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome teams, the feature is a progressive enhancement — unsupported browsers simply show no decorations. 70 3 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/chrome-for-developers-zaxez1vzs "Chrome for Developers") Article Chrome Developers · 19w Chrome for Developers Chrome 149 beta introduces a range of CSS and Web API improvements. CSS highlights include gap decorations for grid and flexbox layouts, support for path() and shape() functions in shape-outside, a new path-length CSS property mapping to SVG's pathLength attribute, image-rendering: crisp-edges, and fixes to table border color UA stylesheet rules. Web API additions include programmatic scroll promises, Payment Request error distinction between user cancellation and internal errors, WebSocket disconnection on bfcache entry, a new Request.isReloadNavigation attribute for Service Workers, and autocorrect='off' support for Windows touch keyboard. New origin trials cover a Permissions Policy for focus-without-user-activation, a Gamepad event-driven input API, and WebAssembly custom descriptors. 30 2 [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/2026/05#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/chrome/best-of/2026/05","name":"Best Chrome Developers Posts — May 2026","description":"The most upvoted Chrome Developers posts from May 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/chrome/best-of/2026/05#items","numberOfItems":2,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/gap-decorations-now-available-in-chromium-x5qkzadan","name":"Gap decorations: Now available in Chromium"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/chrome-for-developers-zaxez1vzs","name":"Chrome for Developers"}]},{"@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":"May 2026"}]}]} ```
