WebKit Features in Safari 16.1

Sometimes duplicate or wasteful features[0], but hey, Chrome's got those features!

Meanwhile, on interoperability[1], Firefox and Safari are currently at 84, while Chrome is at... 75. Once they update with this new release, Safari should climb to 89[2].

Being first to things isn't always the great thing you're suggesting, if those things aren't actually being asked for--or wanted.

That first link is a thing of beauty.

Also, it's terrifying because it's just one of hundreds of standards that WebKit (and Firefox) might not have the time and resources to fight.
