A comment on It's always been you, Canvas2D.

Can we use these yet?

ctx.createConicGradient() - 15.15% of users (Firefox since 90 and Safari since 15, not yet in Chromium/Blink without `new-canvas-2d-api` flag)

https://caniuse.com/?search=createConicGradient

Not found on "Can I Use":

- All text modifiers

- ctx.roundRect()

- context.reset()

- CanvasFilter

- contextlost/contextrestored

Anyone know when these will be available in browsers?

Looks like in chrome they are all under the `new-canvas-2d-api` flag:

These are all available as of Chrome M99! Thanks for reminding me to update caniuse!

What about all the other browsers?

So, these functions are are now currently part of the whatwg spec, so other browsers have stated their intention to implement them and this is underway.

New is always frustrating.

Instead I'll write my own context.reset_bogus() that simply calls canvas.width = canvas.width

Same for round rect. Some of the other features though ... not so simple, ha ha.
