They keep them grouped together though. If you look closely, they're in the same bubble while firefox is in another one. Probably shows both for the convenience of most devs.
(also Microsoft being Microsoft might shoehorn in some feature no other normal browser would just because)
By the way, if you want to replicate this effect for fun and profit, the control character you're searching for is U+202E RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE (or RLO for short)
There ought to be some kind of 2016 css subset that everyone sticks to and then we can reconsider maybe updating it to include any newer stuff that's absolutely essential once every ten years.
Expecting the runtime/browser to ship a native implementation of virtually everything you might want to do in a turing-complete language, is also really not sustainable, though.
I don't believe, you should expect all browsers to implement all new web features in under a year.
It takes time, like new C++ or C standarts.
An like with all other standarts, the more parties are involved the more time it takes to adopt it.

You can’t count chrome and edge as two different browsers…
MDN does, not my decision

I think they're in the same bubble because they both support the feature
Happy cake day !
It's actually Google doing that these days, but they do it on webkit directly and so everything but Firefox gets their experiments too.
Chromium (or blink), not webkit
they are grouped and as they are different browsers that theoretically could have different blink versions I feel like it makes sense.
The people who use MDN for their work need to though
You know what still works? HTML tables.
Suck it, all of the 2000s webdev.
What's worse than div soup? Table ware.
Even apple phones added flexbox support in like 2022.
Flexbox spam is the new tables.
2022? That's in the future
God damn it I’m getting old. I had to seriously reconsider and reparse 2022 like nine times.
Right? What year is your org up to?
Feel free to answer in terms of OS or framework version.
Last website I built used no CSS or JavaScript
Living in a future utopia
AngularJS
oh no
Anyway
Don't forget to add
role="none"for accessibility....Did you add an unescaped RTL toggle character on your user name?
For the record, I noticed because I use Friendica:
Jeroba only flips the instance domain, that is way more wild
Yay I am in screenshot
What's it like being famous? 🤩
Meh

Voyager just ignores it
Voyager shows username, he probably changed display name
No issues in Thunder.
I have display names turned off, though.
It's probably in the display name, not the username so that would make sense. Would be interesting to know what happens if display names are on
Turns out it looks the same. Wait, something is still wrong. I turned the setting on, but I still don't see display names. Oh well.
Nice
i do remember doing that a long time ago
Doing QA testing for free? You and lil bobby tables would get along great
I strongly think Lemmy clients should have a toggle to show usernames instead of display names. Some of the Unicode is super obnoxious.
Some Lemmy clients like summit do (which I keep on, because display names are often cancer)
And now you're about to nerd-snipe me into checking if control characters are valid for user names in ActivityPub
There's probably some restrictions because I tried making an instance that had a user with a completely empty username and it didn't federate.
Connect lets you filter out the Unicode into a-z, which is nice

that mentality is one reason websites spam JavaScript today, because native features of the markup language were being added too slow

Something like C/C++ does? JS16, JS20, JS24?

Haha, one year? How quaint. (Cries into ISO C++ standards)
Just don't create such a mess that you need cutting-edge features.
Progressive enhancement is a cool thing
That's like wanting to use a just standardized media format.
Windows native support for MKV (2002) and HEVC (2013): 2019
Thank god for tailwind templates wouldn't get anywhere without them
As if modern websites care about Firefox
As if
modernwebsites care about FirefoxWe used to have HTML+ and be happy!
Pretty much anything you might ever wanna do with a website, can be done with IE8 support. Rest is skill issue.
