JPEG XL in Chromium update: “[...] we would welcome contributions to integrate a performant and memory-safe JPEG XL decoder in Chromium.

At #Fronteers #DarkMode, @Brecht proposed the <rangegroup> HTML Element which he has been working on at Open UI. It unlocks the multi-handle range slider, a pattern you might have already used when picking a price-range on a travel website. - Explainer:

👀 Coming to Chrome DevTools in Chrome 138: CSS Value Tracing When you hover a --custom-prop in a `var()`, DevTools currently shows you the computed value. From Chrome 138 onwards, you can hover the `var` part to see how CSS actually got to that value.
