NEW: US government websites are disappearing in real time, including sites for the US Agency for International Development, foreign assistance, neglected diseases, and children in adversity. We analyzed more than 1000 .gov websites to track what's been taken down—and what's next. wrd.cm/4aFMs5A

Today in WebKit: more negative feelings about modulemaps. Also some positive feelings about all the progress being made, despite bruising my head on build errors.

We implemented a new value for `background-clip` called `border-area`. It lets you use CSS fill a border with a background image or gradient.

This article explains how it works, and shows up the possibilities in 7 demos.
