A deep, well-researched & cited piece detailing systemic failures down the web stack (standards bodies, browsers vendors, etc) which marginalize #accessibility and its voices — but with proposed solutions.

I talked to @bkardell.com & @meyerweb.com about the old days, how for half the lifetime of the web there wasn't a comprehensive test suite, why it's so important, as well as how it feeds into projects like Interop; @foolip.org and @atopal.bsky.social about how it feeds into Baseline and dashboards

It's hard to overstate how exciting it is to be able to emulate safe-area-insets and svh in an actual browser.

Polypane 26 is here!

Emulate safe-inset-area variables and the small viewport height inside Polypane for the most accurate device emulation available.

Of course there's more, like improvements to inspection, measurement overlays, Chromium 140 and much more.
