If you ever bookmarked the CSS Tricks Complete Guide to Flexbox, HTML5 Rocks, or CSS Zen Garden, a guide like this might feel familiar. It’s designed to be an easy introduction, a reference guide — and just plain fun.

The interactive playground

At the top is a live, editable Grid Lanes layout. Switch between Waterfall and Brick. Try preset layouts. Drag the slider labeled “Flow tolerance” and click “Play tab order” to understand the impact of flow-tolerance.

Resize the demo browser window to test responsive behavior without resizing your whole window. Edit the CSS directly. Copy the code you create.

The cheat sheet

Next is the Field Guide itself — a single-page reference for every property, value, and option.

It has four sections:

• Grid Lanes Basics — display: grid-lanes, plus the difference between waterfall and brick layouts
• Options for Lane Definitions — Grid track-sizing with fr units, fixed lengths, percentages, auto, min-content & max-content, fit-content(), minmax(), repeat(), and auto-fill vs auto-fit
• Options for Placement & Spacing — flow-tolerance, gap, spanning tracks, and explicit placement
• Good to Know — info about source order, progressive enhancement, and switching layouts at different breakpoints

The demos

To showcase the possibilities of Grid Lanes, we created six demos, each available in several variations:

• Photos — just images, in a variety of aspect ratios
• Recipes — components containing both flexible images and varying lengths of text
• Newspaper — longer passages of text, with a few images (and a lot of CSS puns)
• Mega Menu — lists of very short text
• Timeline — text in brick layout
• Pinboard — mixed media

Each demo opens with a floating control panel.

“Layout” offers a dropdown of variations — showing off what Grid Lanes can do, and comparing it to Flexbox, Multicolumn, and Grid. “Numbers” shows item order. “Flow tolerance” lets you experiment with its effects. The code panel displays the key layout CSS.

“Hide controls” puts the focus on the demo itself. To get the controls back, click the gear that appears in the lower-right corner.

Working with Safari’s developer tools

Web Inspector knows about Grid Lanes, too. Toggle “Order Numbers” to reveal overlays marking the DOM order of items. These numbers are extremely useful when experimenting to find the best flow-tolerance value for your content.

What about other browsers?

Grid Lanes works today in Safari 26.4+. For the latest information about other browsers, check Can I Use. For progressive enhancement guidance, read When will CSS Grid Lanes arrive? How long until we can use it?

Made by the people who shipped it

The Field Guide was built by the same team behind Grid Lanes. We hope this is a fun experience that makes Grid Lanes easy to learn. Bookmark it, share it with colleagues, and let us know what you make.

If you haven’t tried MapKit JS lately, now is a great time to take another look. With our latest version 6 release, we’ve made it easier than ever for you to integrate MapKit JS into your apps and websites by modernizing around today’s web development patterns.

See It in Action

Getting a MapKit JS map onto a page takes a few lines of code. In this post, we’ll guide you, step-by -step, through how to build a sample app — Yosemite Explorer — featuring points of interest across Yosemite National Park in California. Explore the demo.

Try it yourself

Apple Developer Account

To display a map, provide a developer token to MapKit JS. You generate that token through an Apple Developer account — and that same account unlocks a lot more than just maps. With an Apple Developer account, you get access to Apple’s full suite of developer services: publish Safari Web Extensions, and use powerful web frameworks like MusicKit JS for Apple Music integration, CloudKit JS for iCloud-backed data storage, and more. Sign up for an Apple Developer account.

MapKit JS 6 makes token setup significantly simpler. You can now use a static token bound to your website’s domain, generated directly from the Apple Developer website — no private key management or self-signing required. For details, see Creating a Maps token.

Load the Framework

New in v6, the MapKit JS loader ships as an NPM package, so the framework integrates directly into modern build pipelines. If you are looking to build a quick prototype or load MapKit JS directly in HTML, you can also skip to [Loading the MapKit JS script in your browser] below.

Load with MapKit JS Loader

To get our Yosemite map running, the next step is to install the package:

npm install @apple/mapkit-loader

Now you can load the framework with the token you generated in the previous step:

import { load } from "@apple/mapkit-loader";

const mapkit = await load({
    libraries: ["map", "services", "annotations"],
    token: "your-token-here"
});
console.log("MapKit loads", mapkit.loadedLibraries);

Let’s reload the page. The console.log() output should appear in Web Inspector:

MapKit JS partitions its features into libraries, so you load only what you need. Set the libraries array to the minimal set for the best performance. When you load MapKit JS through MapKit JS Loader, it automatically sources full TypeScript support through DefinitelyTyped into your project. Find a list of available libraries in developer documentation for MapKit JS.

Alternative: Load the MapKit JS script in HTML

For quick prototyping or web apps without a build pipeline, you can load and initialize MapKit JS with a <script> tag:

<script src="https://cdn.apple-mapkit.com/mk/6/mapkit.core.js"
     crossorigin async
     data-callback="initMapKit"
     data-libraries="map,services,annotations"
     data-token="your-token-here"></script>

When the script loads, it invokes window.initMapKit — a callback you define — after which the mapkit namespace is available under window.

Create a Map

You create a map by passing the ID of a container element and a region. For our example, we center the map view on Yosemite Valley and set the camera high enough to cover the whole valley.

First, in HTML, define a sized container for the map view:

<div id="map-container" style="width: 500px; height: 500px;"></div>

In JavaScript, frame the map viewport by setting a center coordinate (latitude and longitude) and a camera distance (in meters):

const map = new mapkit.Map("map-container", {
    center: new mapkit.Coordinate(37.7456, -119.5936),
    cameraDistance: 28000
});

With that, the framework renders an interactive map in your container, centered on Yosemite Valley:

Alternative: Create a Map with frameworks

When using a UI framework, pass in the DOM element directly. For example, in React:

const mapRef = useRef(null);

useEffect(() => {
        new mapkit.Map(mapRef.current, {
            region: new mapkit.CoordinateRegion(
                new mapkit.Coordinate(37.3349, -122.0090),
            new mapkit.CoordinateSpan(0.01, 0.01)
        )
    });
}, []);

return <div ref={mapRef} style={{ width: "500px", height: "500px" }} />;

Add Place Annotations

You can add custom annotations or overlays to the interactive map view. In this example, we’ll showcase places in Yosemite National Park with PlaceAnnotation — an annotation that automatically picks up the place’s title, coordinate, and iconography from Apple’s data.

Each place in Apple Maps is referenced by a Place ID, an opaque string that represents a point of interest rather than a specific coordinate or address. You can find Place IDs with the Place ID Lookup tool or the Search service. New in v6, PlaceLookup returns a promise, so you can pass a Place ID, await the result, and create the annotation in a single flow:

const placeLookup = new mapkit.PlaceLookup();

const id = "I7408F9590EC1AB75";
const place = await placeLookup.getPlace(id);
const annotation = new mapkit.PlaceAnnotation(place, {
    selectionAccessory: new mapkit.PlaceSelectionAccessory()
});

addToList(annotation);
map.addAnnotation(annotation);

The code snippet above adds a PlaceAnnotation to the map and populates the same place on a list. The list draws the place name using the annotation.title property:

The snippet also sets a selectionAccessory option to a PlaceSelectionAccessory instance. When the user selects a marker, selection accessory displays detailed information of that place, like contact information or operating hours.

Repeat the place lookup to populate the app with all places.

Respond to Interactions

We want to present the user interface in a consistent state. New in v6, MapKit JS uses the standard browser EventTarget model, so handling map events works like handling any other DOM event. When the user selects an annotation on the map, you can update the corresponding list item:

map.addEventListener("select", (event) => {
    const selected = event.annotation;
    setListSelected(selected.id);
});

Likewise, when the user selects a list item, select the corresponding annotation on the map. Since each list item holds a reference to the annotation instance, set its selected property to true:

element.addEventListener("click", (event) => {
    annotation.selected = true;
});

This creates a two-way binding so the list and the map feel connected when either is interacted with. With that, we completed our app:

The same addEventListener pattern applies to annotation selections, map region changes, and every other MapKit JS interaction. See Handling map events to learn about all available event types.

Apple Maps, Built for the Web

In walking through the Yosemite Explorer example, you’ve seen several v6 changes working together. Installing MapKit JS as an npm package makes getting started more straightforward. Handling annotation selection with addEventListener puts the standard browser EventTarget model to work — one that v6 adopts consistently across the API. Using await for place lookups uses native promises throughout. And the authentication token you configured at the start is scoped to specific capabilities, giving you fine-grained control over access. Together, these changes make bringing the power of Apple Maps to your website a natural part of your development process.

What’s New in Safari 27

For an overview of what we’ve been working to bring you this past year, start here. We cover the full range of what’s coming to Safari 27 with a particular focus on quality. We’ve shipped over 1000 fixes and improvements across the board, and we hope that work solves some of your problems and makes it easier for you to build for the web. Quality leads the agenda, but we still made room for some great features as well. This session gives a sneak peek at the five features brought to you in Safari 27.

Grid Lanes

Grid lanes finally brings the dream of a CSS-only masonry layout to the web, allowing you to create the famous Pinterest-style layout with no additional JavaScript required. It works in both the vertical “waterfall” direction and the horizontal “brick” direction, and it brings the full power of CSS Grid track sizing with it.

Brandon shows you the few lines of code it takes to implement this layout and also teaches you about some of its helpful features, like flow-tolerance, which gives you control over how far items can drift from source order to fill in the layout — an important consideration for accessibility.

To play with Grid Lanes yourself, check out our interactive demo on our Field Guide at gridlanes.webkit.org and experiment with the layout options. When you’re ready, you can copy the code you write and bring it into your own projects.

Customizable Select

If you’ve built forms for the web, you’ve probably had your fair share of wrestling form controls. Customizable select is here to give you a better alternative, using the power of just HTML and CSS.

Add appearance: base-select to any <select> element and it immediately starts inheriting your design system — fonts, colors, and more. From there, you have full CSS control over every part of the element: the picker popup via ::picker(select), the disclosure icon via ::picker-icon, the selected option’s checkmark via ::checkmark. You can even add rich HTML content inside your <option> elements — descriptions, images, anything you want — while keeping all the accessibility and robustness of a native form control.

This session is Tim’s guide to what Customizable Select now makes possible: a form control that’s truly in your control. If you’ve ever built a custom dropdown from scratch to get the styling you needed, this session is for you.

model element

The <model> element comes to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS in Safari 27. Embedding interactive 3D models in a webpage now works like embedding any other media: use a <source> element to provide files in multiple formats, set environmentmap for custom lighting, use stagemode="orbit" to let users rotate the model, and reach for the JavaScript API for more programmatic control.

If you’re new to the world of 3D models, Aleksei guides you through the process, starting from the first question: where do you even get 3D models? Then he moves into how to optimize them for the web, how to write the markup, and how to use the JavaScript API for animation playback, programmatic rotation, and more.

Whether you’re building a product preview for your online store, an educational tool, or just something eye catching to grab your users attention, this session gives you a practical on-ramp.

Immersive website environments

In visionOS 27, <model> goes further still with immersive website environments. A user can tap to leave the browser window behind and be surrounded by the model you provide — a full spatial experience launched directly from a webpage.

The Immersive API — which is very similar to the Fullscreen API — gives you control over how the environment appears and how users interact with it. Jean built an interactive theater-seating experience to show how this works in practice: a user browses seats on a webpage, then steps into the theater itself to see the view from their seat before they buy.

This session covers what’s possible, how the API works, and the decisions that go into designing an experience that feels right in visionOS.

Web Extensions

And for Web Extensions, the Safari web extension packager makes it easier than ever to distribute your extension. Publishing a Safari extension no longer requires Xcode, or even a Mac. Now, you can package and submit your extension using App Store Connect from any web browser, on any operating system. One codebase, every browser.

But this session is about more than just packaging — Kiara breaks down how to build a web extension step by step, building a web extension from the ground up. If you’ve been holding off on publishing your extension for Safari, or if you’re building your first extension and want to support all browsers from the start, this is the session to watch.

We cover a wide range of web topics in this year’s session, including layouts, 3D objects, and web extensions. Whether it’s a feature or a fix, we hope you’ll find something here that’s applicable and helpful to the work that you do. Enjoy WWDC26!

Feedback

We love hearing from you. To share your thoughts, find our web evangelists online: Jen Simmons on Bluesky / Mastodon, Saron Yitbarek on BlueSky, and Jon Davis on Bluesky / Mastodon. You can follow WebKit on LinkedIn. If you run into any issues, we welcome your feedback on Safari UI (learn more about filing Feedback), or your WebKit bug report about web technologies or Web Inspector. If you run into a website that isn’t working as expected, please file a report at webcompat.com. Filing issues really does make a difference.

Here’s a sneak peek of the highlights:

• After years of anticipation, you can now use customizable <select> to style your form elements to match the rest of your site or app without rebuilding it in JavaScript or sacrificing accessibility.
• Scroll anchoring prevents those visual jumps when content loads above the viewport.
• WebAssembly JavaScript Promise Integration (JSPI) lets Wasm code participate in the async world of JavaScript.
• Transform-aware anchor positioning closes out a major gap in the anchor positioning story.
• The :heading pseudo-class, the revert-rule keyword, and the stretch keyword for box sizing all land in CSS.
• Subpixel inline layout makes text rendering more precise.

And that’s just the start.

If you look through the lists of features and fixes in Safari 27, you’ll notice that, although there are 58 brand-new features and 525 fixes — the largest pile of fixes in any Safari release in recent memory — most of what is released is not about new things.

Most of this work has been about existing features behaving more correctly, handling more edge cases, and fitting together with other features the way you’d expect. We committed our time to increasing quality — that’s the story of this release and the year that led to it.

A lot of this work was also about aligning to web standards. When we found a spec that was unclear or incomplete, we helped update it, and then updated WebKit to match.

For example, Safari 27 contains 30 SVG fixes, including updates based on recent decisions in SVG 2 where we revived the Working Group. SVG is used on 67% of webpages, making this work very impactful. Anchor positioning continues to get refined as the CSS specification settles. And in more subtle places throughout the release — URL parsing details, event listener options, timezone identifier handling, innerText edge cases — features that look unchanged on the surface now behave the same way in Safari as they do in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

We also spent time making sure features still work across different contexts. A :has() selector invalidating properly when siblings change. An aspect-ratio resolving correctly against a percentage height. box-shadow rendering correctly on table-row elements. background-clip: text working on table header elements. Bugs that appear when combining features are among the hardest to find and the most frustrating, but we’ve made significant progress in hunting them down.

If something has been bothering you, test it in Safari 27 beta. You might be pleasantly surprised. And if it hasn’t been fixed yet, file a bug report, or add a comment to an existing issue with a concrete scenario, a link to a real site, or a reduced test case. The more concrete the problem, the more helpful it is.

This work goes beyond the Safari browser. When your customers open their news app, their banking app, their shopping app, there’s a good chance the interface they interact with is powered by the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that’s rendered by WebKit and JavaScriptCore — the same engines inside Safari. Every fix in this release isn’t just for the browser — it benefits everything the web platform touches.

Let’s dive in.

Customizable Select

Safari 27 beta adds support for customizable <select> , which transforms the <select> element. You can now build a fully custom form element that matches the look and feel of your website or web app, without reaching for a JavaScript library or sacrificing the accessibility, reliability, and native platform integration of a real HTML form control.

Use the new appearance: base-select to clear the native styling and start with a clean palette. Then insert any additional CSS you want to create your custom design. Customizable <select> comes with new pseudo-elements for more granular control, like ::picker-icon to target the disclosure indicator and ::checkmark to target the checkmark that appears next to the selected <option>. Both can be fully customized.

Use the new <selectedcontent> element inside the button to display the currently selected option’s content and style <selectedcontent> directly to get it to look exactly how you want in the closed state.

And because you’re still working with a real <select>, everything that comes with a native form control still works: keyboard navigation, screen reader support, form submission, validation, change events. You get the styling freedom of a custom widget with the power of a native HTML element.

Customizable <select> is a multi-vendor effort. The same syntax is coming to other browsers. Use progressive enhancement and style your <select> with appearance: base-select for a great experience in browsers that support it, and let browsers that don’t fall back to their built-in rendering.

Learn more in the WWDC26 session Rediscover the HTML Select Element, where Tim walks through the full API and how to build layouts inside options with Grid and Flexbox.

Additional bug fixes:

• Fixed an issue where <select multiple> did not always fire onchange when the mouse button was released far outside the element. (173882861)
• Fixed an issue where <select> control rendering was broken in vertical writing mode. (174068353)
• Fixed a performance issue where parsing <select> elements with thousands of <option> children via innerHTML caused O(n²) overhead due to repeated list recalculation. (174244946)
• Fixed <option> elements to correctly implement the HTML specification’s dirtiness concept for tracking user-modified selected state. (175306111)
• Fixed the select picker appearing at an incorrect position when the <select> element is anchor positioned. (175454476)
• Fixed the default display value for <optgroup> and <option> elements to block, matching the behavior of other browsers. (175473184)
• Fixed <option> and <optgroup> elements to match the :disabled pseudo-class when inside a disabled <select>. (176559708)

Animations

Safari 27 beta adds the animation property to the AnimationEvent and TransitionEvent interfaces, letting event handlers directly access the Animation object associated with the event.

Additional bug fixes:

• Fixed an issue where animation-fill-mode did not correctly apply viewport-based units after the viewport was resized. (80075191)
• Fixed an issue where !important declarations did not override CSS animation values when CSS transitions were also running on the same property. (174367827)
• Fixed an issue where identity matrix decomposition generated invalid quaternions, resulting in incorrect transform animations. (174813328)

CSS

Transform-aware anchor positioning

Safari 27 beta adds support for transform-aware anchor positioning. Now, when an anchor element has a CSS transform applied — scale, rotate, translate, or any combination — elements positioned relative to that anchor follow its transformed position instead of its pre-transform layout position. This works for transforms applied via the transform property as well as through the individual translate, rotate, and scale properties.

This closes a long-standing gap in the anchor positioning story. If you use anchor positioning to attach a tooltip, popover, or annotation to a transformed element, it now tracks correctly, even with animated transforms.

:heading pseudo-class

Safari 27 beta adds support for the :heading pseudo-class, which matches any heading element — <h1> through <h6>.

Instead of writing h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 in your selector list, you can just write :heading. And :heading can also be combined with functional selectors to target headings at specific levels:

revert-rule keyword

The revert-rule keyword is now supported in Safari 27 beta. Like revert and revert-layer, revert-rule rolls back the cascade — but specifically to the state as if the current style rule had not been present.

It gives you a more precise tool for working with overrides, especially in component libraries and design systems where you want to selectively undo declarations within a rule without losing the rest.

stretch keyword for box sizing

Safari 27 beta adds support for the stretch keyword in box sizing properties like width, height, min-width, and so on. stretch tells an element to fill the available space in the relevant axis, accounting for margins.

.card {
  width: stretch;
}

Previously, the common way to achieve this was width: 100% — which doesn’t account for margins and can cause overflow when margins are applied. The stretch keyword does the right thing. If you’ve been using -webkit-fill-available as a workaround for the same behavior, now is a good time to switch.

Dutch IJ digraph in text-transform: capitalize and ::first-letter

The Dutch IJ digraph is now available in Safari 27 beta. When the content language is Dutch (lang="nl"), text-transform: capitalize and ::first-letter now correctly titlecase “ij” to “IJ” at the start of words.

A small but genuine improvement for anyone writing Dutch text on the web.

position-anchor: normal and none

Safari 27 beta adds support for position-anchor: normal and position-anchor: none. Before, position-anchor defaults to auto, which makes every element use the implicit anchor element as its default anchor, if one exists. This has a side effect of changing an element’s positioning behavior, whether it uses anchor positioning or not. This may result in compatibility problems.

To fix this, the CSS Working Group has added two values to position-anchor to allow opting out of the new behavior:

• none: an element does not have a default anchor, and its positioning behavior is unchanged.
• normal: auto if an element uses position-area, otherwise none.

position-anchor: normal is the new default value, replacing auto. This means elements will only have a default anchor and get anchor positioning behavior if it uses position-area, otherwise its behavior remains unchanged.

anchor-valid and anchor-visible

Safari 27 beta adds support for anchor-valid and anchor-visible . Originally, position-visibility: anchors-valid hides an element if any of its required anchor references can’t be resolved. However, it was not clear what constitutes “required anchor references”. The CSS Working Group has since then changed its behavior to only look at the default anchor box. To match the new behavior, some keywords also got renamed to drop the plurality:

• anchors-valid is renamed to anchor-valid
• anchors-visible is renamed to anchor-visible

Safari 27 beta aligns with the new behavior but also still supports the old keywords for compatibility.

Style containment for quotes

Safari 27 beta adds support for contain: style applying to CSS quotes. This allows you to scope effects of quotes to a certain subtree.

insert keyword for text-autospace

Safari 18.4 added support for text-autospace to control spacing between Chinese/Japanese/Korean (CJK) and non-CJK characters. Safari 27 beta now adds the insert keyword, making the following syntaxes equivalent:

• text-autospace: ideograph-alpha ideograph-numeric insert
• text-autospace: ideograph-alpha ideograph-numeric

Scroll Anchoring

Scroll anchoring is now supported in Safari 27 beta. When content is inserted or removed above the current viewport position — an image loads, an ad injects, a comment appears — the browser automatically adjusts the scroll position so the content you’re reading stays put instead of jumping.

This is an improvement you’ll feel on many sites, especially ones with lazy-loaded images, infinite-scroll feeds, or dynamically injected content. Most sites get this for free — no opt-in required.

Scroll anchoring is controlled by the overflow-anchor CSS property, which defaults to auto. If you have a specific element where you need to opt out of scroll anchoring, set overflow-anchor: none.

Additional bug fixes:

• Fixed an issue on iOS where calling scrollTo during a momentum scroll incorrectly interrupted the scroll, ensuring that momentum scrolling continues as expected and smooth scrolling behaves properly. (41949531)
• Fixed an issue on iOS where programmatic smooth scrolling with scroll-snap-type: mandatory failed after the browser chrome was hidden. (100727098)
• Fixed an issue where interrupting scroll momentum caused the scrolling container to stop rendering and hit-testing to be misplaced. (116205365)

• Fixed an issue on macOS where custom CSS scrollbars could be cut off and the scrollbar corner rect was sized incorrectly. (168566468)
• Fixed rubberbanding behaving incorrectly when a site triggers a smooth scroll to the top during a rubberband. (170705188)
• Fixed an issue where pages could become blank and jump to the top after dynamically loading new content when scroll anchoring was enabled. (170889205)

• Fixed scroll anchoring interfering with rubberbanding on some websites. (175195943)
• Fixed an issue on iOS where scroll position was not preserved correctly when rotating the device on right-to-left pages. (175910769)

HTML

sizes=”auto” on img

The auto keyword in the sizes attribute on <img> elements is now supported in Safari 27 beta.

<img src="photo.jpg"
     srcset="photo-400.jpg 400w, photo-800.jpg 800w, photo-1200.jpg 1200w"
     sizes="auto"
     loading="lazy"
     alt="A mountain landscape">

When an image uses loading="lazy" and you don’t know its rendered layout width ahead of time, sizes="auto" tells the browser to calculate the size automatically based on the actual layout width once it’s known. This makes responsive images work correctly for images inside layout containers with dynamic widths.

shadowrootslotassignment attribute

Safari 27 beta adds support for the shadowrootslotassignment attribute on declarative shadow roots. This lets you configure the slot assignment mode (named or manual) directly in HTML when defining a shadow root declaratively, matching the JavaScript attachShadow({ slotAssignment: "manual" }) option.

Additional bug fixes:

• Fixed window.open() to correctly consume user activation when creating a new browsing context, aligning with the HTML specification. (174587258)
• Fixed remaining issues with <img sizes="auto"> to fully align with the specification. (174684058)

• Fixed an issue where inserting an image with a srcset attribute into a dynamically created iframe resulted in an invisible image. (66849050)
• Fixed naturalWidth and naturalHeight returning incorrect values for SVG images without intrinsic dimensions. (141196049)
• Fixed an issue where HDR images would flicker and lose their HDR appearance when overlapping layers animate. (163382580)

JavaScript

Top-Level Await

Safari 27 beta includes a complete standards-compliant rewrite of the ECMAScript module (ESM) loader. The new loader is implemented in native C++ and conforms directly to the ECMAScript specification’s module loading algorithms, replacing an earlier implementation based on an abandoned 2016 WHATWG Loader proposal that predated top-level await entirely.

The rewrite fixes module execution ordering and initialization issues that could cause imports to access exports before they were fully evaluated. It was validated against test262, the Web Platform Tests, and additional test cases.

Top-level await is a foundational feature of modern JavaScript module authoring, and it’s been a real pain point in Safari for a while — a known source of cross-browser bugs that developers building module-based apps had to work around. This fix closes that gap.

Additional bug fixes:

• Fixed multiple top-level await correctness bugs with a rewrite of the ES module loader for standards compliance. (97370038)
• Fixed regular expressions in Unicode mode to not count non-capturing groups and modifiers toward the number of available backreferences. (167746769)

• Fixed an issue where a greedy or non-greedy non-BMP character class in a regular expression could advance the index past the end of input. (172978772)
• Fixed an issue where class instance field initializers did not have the correct evaluation context when used inside arrow functions and nested scopes. (173296563)
• Fixed TypedArray [[Set]] to check the receiver before writing to the typed array. (173386404)
• Fixed %ArrayIteratorPrototype%.next() to return { done: true } instead of throwing a TypeError when the source TypedArray is detached and the iterator has already completed. (173759106)

• Fixed an issue where Intl.Segmenter with granularity: "word" incorrectly reported isWordLike: false for numeric segments. (175057894)

• Fixed an issue where Intl.Locale did not canonicalize before overriding the language. (175092327)
• Fixed time zone identifiers to return primary IANA time zone IDs instead of legacy ICU identifiers. (175098682)

WebAssembly

JavaScript Promise Integration (JSPI)

Safari 27 beta adds support for WebAssembly JavaScript Promise Integration (JSPI). JSPI lets synchronous-looking WebAssembly code suspend and wait for JavaScript Promises, making it much easier to port existing C, C++, Rust, and other language code to the web where that code expects synchronous I/O.

Before JSPI, porting code that called synchronous APIs to Wasm required rewriting everything on top of a callback or async state machine. With JSPI, the Wasm module can suspend at a call site and resume when the Promise resolves — the rest of the module sees straight-line synchronous code. This is a significant capability for the Wasm ecosystem.

Additional bug fixes:

• Fixed WebAssembly.Suspending and WebAssembly.SuspendError to be data properties instead of getter functions, aligning with other WebAssembly attributes like WebAssembly.Module. (170155726)
• Fixed incorrect IntegerOverflow exceptions thrown by i32.rem_s, i64.rem_s, i32.div_u, i64.div_u, i32.rem_u, and i64.rem_u when both operands are constants. (175122462)
• Fixed a regression where RegisterSet::normalizeWidths() lost vector-width information, causing v128 argument corruption in WebAssembly SIMD thunks. (176035764)

The Immersive API on the model element works similarly to how the Fullscreen API does on video elements. Learn more in the WWDC26 session Explore immersive website environments in visionOS.

Consider what this makes possible in a browser: a ticketing site where you can see the view from your seat before you buy, or a hotel that lets you walk the room, all built with standard web technology, no app required.

img controls on spatial and panorama photos

Safari 27 beta in visionOS 27 adds support for the controls attribute on <img> elements displaying spatial and panorama photos. When applied, the image gets native interactive controls appropriate for the content type, allowing the image to be viewed spatially or immersively wrapped around the user.

model on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS

The <model> HTML element is now available in Safari on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, joining its existing availability in visionOS. Web developers can now embed interactive 3D content using standard HTML across Apple platforms.

WKWebView

Safari 27 brings a significant expansion of WKWebView public API for native app developers. The additions make it easier to build advanced browser and web-hosting experiences on top of WebKit:

• WKSerializedNode — clone DOM nodes, including shadow roots, between different WKWebView instances.
• WKJSHandle — use JavaScript object references from native code.
• WKContentWorldConfiguration — configure content world properties such as autofill scripting, shadow root access, and inspectability when creating a WKContentWorld.
• alternateRequest and overrideReferrerForAllRequests on WKWebpagePreferences — modify the main resource request during navigation and apply custom referrer headers across all resource loads.
• willSubmitForm callback on WKNavigationDelegate — receive notification of HTML form submissions via a new WKFormInfo object.
• mainFrameNavigation on WKNavigationAction and mainFrameNavigation on WKNavigationResponse — correlate navigation actions and responses with each other and their originating loads.
• WKWebView.load(url:) — load a URL directly without wrapping it in an NSURLRequest.
• WKHTTPCookieStore.cookies(for:) — retrieve cookies matching a specific URL without fetching the entire cookie store.

Web Inspector

Several Web Inspector updates in Safari 27 beta make common debugging tasks easier.

The Color Picker now shows color contrast information inline as you edit — no more switching tools mid-decision to check whether a color combination is accessible. This works when you’re editing both foreground and background colors at the same time.

The Color Picker’s format and gamut controls are also now visible upfront instead of hidden. If you’ve ever gone hunting for those options, this will help.

In the Network tab, when a resource redirects, you can now see every request in the chain rather than just the final destination. It’s much easier to figure out what’s actually happening.

The Elements tab adds Subgrid and Grid-Lanes badges that make it easy to identify subgrid and grid-lanes layout contexts as you explore a page.

The Timeline tab now includes the layout root element in Layout event details, so you can see which element triggered a layout pass.

Additional bug fixes:

Alongside new features, this release continues our ongoing efforts to greatly improve the quality of WebKit. There are 63 bug fixes in total — making this the biggest May release of WebKit yet. The improvements span SVG, WebRTC, networking, editing, and more. Scroll-driven animations and Anchor Positioning both get multiple fixes. Rendering at different zoom levels works better. And work continues improving the handling layout whenever a block-level element lives inside an inline element.

CSS

The :open pseudo-class

The new :open pseudo-class in CSS provides a clean way to style the open state of elements like <details>, <dialog>, <select>, and <input>.

Previously, you might have used the [open] attribute selector for <details> and <dialog>. It works on those elements, but doesn’t work on <select> or <input>. Plus, it’s an attribute selector doing the job better handled by a pseudo-class. Now :open provides a single, consistent pattern that works across all of these element types.

For <dialog>, it now matches when the dialog is showing — whether opened with showModal() or show(). And for <input>, it applies when an associated picker is displayed, like a date or color picker.

For <select>, :open matches when the drop-down is expanded.

select:open {
  border: 1px solid skyblue;
}

This is a practical improvement to everyday CSS. The progressive enhancement is straightforward — browsers that don’t yet support :open simply won’t apply those rules, and the underlying elements still function normally.

Improvements to CSS random()

We were proud to be the first browser to ship the new CSS random() function last December, in Safari 26.2. Since then, the CSS Working Group adjusted how named random values work. Using a named value in the syntax, like random(--size, 100px, 200px), now creates a global result, instead of something scoped to each individual element. Safari 26.5 implements these changes, including a new element-scoped keyword for when you need per-element behavior.

For example, imagine you have eight instances of <div class="box"> and apply the following CSS.

.box {
  width: random(100px, 200px); 
  height: random(100px, 200px);
  border: 2px solid black;
}

You get eight completely differently sized rectangles. This is because each time the random function is used, it generates a brand new number, in this case between 100px and 200px. This is how random() has worked since Safari 26.2.

If, instead, you want all eight boxes to be the same size with the same randomly generated height and width, you can write:

.box {
  width: random(--w, 100px, 200px); 
  height: random(--h, 100px, 200px);
}

This chooses a random number, names it (as --w or separately --h), and reuses the named number on each box. (Before Safari 26.5, a cache name was scoped to the individual element, each single box. Now it is global.)

If you want all eight boxes to be square, you can use:

.box {
  width: random(--s, 100px, 200px); 
  height: random(--s, 100px, 200px);
}

The --s ties the two sizes together. The height and width is random, but it’s the same number. Before Safari 26.5, this would give you eight differently-sized squares. Now it will give you a single random size for all eight squares.

If you want eight differently sized squares, you can now use the element-scoped keyword to scope the name to the element, like this:

.box {
  width: random(--s element-scoped, 100px, 200px); 
  height: random(--s element-scoped, 100px, 200px);
}

Now the name applies only to a single element. You can put element-scoped before or after the name, meaning this works too: random(element-scoped --s, 100px, 200px). Lastly, the element-shared keyword has been removed from Safari 26.5, since the new default behavior covers this use case and the CSS Working Group removed it from the specification.

Improvements to Anchor Positioning

CSS anchor positioning continues to mature in this release, with several fixes addressing real-world usage patterns.

• Fixed an issue where media queries failed to re-evaluate during viewport resizing when CSS anchor positioning and viewport units were both in use. (172864699)
• Fixed an issue where chains of three or more anchor-positioned elements didn’t resolve correctly. (173357622)
• Fixed an issue where anchor() fallback values did not accept unitless zero. (173554237)
• Fixed an issue where an element with display: contents did not establish an anchor scope when using anchor-scope. (173718365)
• Fixed an issue where fixed-position boxes anchored to children of sticky-positioned boxes did not stick correctly. (173722628)

Improvements to Hanging Punctuation

This release includes two fixes for hanging-punctuation.

• Fixed hanging-punctuation to correctly treat U+0027 (apostrophe) and U+0022 (quotation mark) as hangable quote characters. (172668971)
• Fixed an issue where ideographic space did not hang when using hanging-punctuation: first. (172669250)

Improvements to Scroll-Driven Animations

Scroll-driven animations are a powerful recent addition to CSS, and this release includes four fixes that improve their reliability.

• Fixed support for the scroll animation timeline range name in scroll-driven animations. (171630023)
• Fixed an issue where scroll-driven animations were not properly paused when animation-play-state was dynamically set to paused. (171630127)
• Fixed an issue where view timeline animations near the 0% and 100% thresholds reported incorrect progress values. (171630157)
• Fixed an issue where animation timelines could fail to restore correctly after navigating back to a page from the back-forward cache. (174561577)

Improvements to Block-in-Inline Layout

Work continues on the layout engine rewrite for block-in-inline contexts, with several fixes in this release.

• Fixed an issue where content inside inline elements with block-level children and rendering layers was not displayed correctly. (171101386)
• Fixed an issue where getClientRects() could return rects with zero width and height for spans in multi-column layouts. (171101490)
• Fixed an issue where an empty <span> with decoration was incorrectly positioned when a sibling block margin was present inside a block-in-inline context. (171101555)
• Fixed an issue where a <br> element was incorrectly positioned inside a block-in-inline context when a block margin was present. (171101748)
• Fixed a layout regression where absolutely positioned elements inside block-in-inline containers were incorrectly overlapping adjacent content. (171732203)

Improvements to Grid, Flexbox, Tables, Multicolumn

• Fixed an issue where a display: grid subgrid inside a grid-lanes container incorrectly contributed its items’ intrinsic sizes to the parent’s track sizing algorithm. (171230544)
• Fixed an issue in collapsed border tables where the border style of a cell adjacent to a rowspan cell was incorrectly applied across the full length of the spanning cell’s border. (171634786)
• Fixed an issue where images could appear stretched inside certain flex and grid layout configurations. (172224411)
• Fixed a regression where content with column-count: 1 could fail to display text. (172306151)

Improvements to zoom

This release includes a focused quality pass on rendering behavior at different zoom levels.

• Fixed an issue where grid and flex layout could cause elements to shift position at certain zoom levels. (172118478)
• Fixed an issue where text content could get cut off inside overflow containers when the page was zoomed in. (172118721)
• Fixed an issue where pinch-to-zoom could cause web content to jump or disappear on some websites. (172507916)
• Fixed an issue where lh and rlh units resolved with double-zoom when line-height is a number. (173515568)
• Fixed an issue where the rlh unit was double-zoomed when resolving with evaluation-time zoom for unzoomed properties. (173518838)
• Fixed an issue where aspect-ratio was not honored correctly when the page was zoomed in. (174498486)

Even more improvements to CSS

• Fixed an issue where @font-face rules with different styles could incorrectly fall back to glyphs from other faces in the same family, rather than proceeding to the next family as specified by the font matching algorithm. (172390840)
• Fixed an issue where images inside transformed containers were not properly centered. (172475726)
• Fixed an issue where user-installed font variants could interfere with system font matching, causing incorrect fonts to be selected. (173345107)
• Fixed a regression where animating to an implicit value for individual transform properties failed to animate. (173717819)
• Fixed an issue where :has(:empty) was not invalidated when the content of a child element changed from empty to non-empty. (174501418)

SVG

WebKit for Safari 26.5 adds support for the color-interpolation attribute on SVG gradients, enabling linearRGB color space interpolation.

<linearGradient color-interpolation="linearRGB">
  <stop offset="0%" stop-color="red" />
  <stop offset="100%" stop-color="blue" />
</linearGradient>

By default, SVG gradients interpolate colors in the sRGB color space. Setting color-interpolation="linearRGB" on a gradient element now produces more perceptually even color transitions, especially noticeable in gradients between saturated colors, where sRGB interpolation can produce a darker or muddier midpoint than expected.

Improvements to SVG

The work continues making significant improvements to SVG.

• Fixed an issue where removeAttribute for width or height on an SVG root element did not reset to the initial default values. (172132798)
• Fixed event name mapping for onbegin, onend, and onrepeat on SVGAnimationElement and added the missing onend event handler. (172581017)
• Fixed an issue where an SVG <image> element was not repainted when its href attribute was removed. (172875166)
• Fixed an issue where UI events such as wheel failed to fire for inner SVG elements. (173009454)
• Fixed an issue where SVG cursors set via cursor: url() appeared blurry on high DPI displays. (173950927)

Web API

ToggleEvent.source

Safari 26.5 adds support for the source property on ToggleEvent. Now, when a popover or other toggleable element is toggled, the event includes a reference to the element that triggered the action, such as the invoker button that opened a popover. This makes it straightforward to coordinate behavior between a trigger and its target without manually tracking that relationship in your own code.

popover.addEventListener("toggle", (e) => {                                                                           
  if (e.newState === "open") {                                                                                        
    console.log("Opened by:", e.source);                                                                              
  }                                                                                                                   
}); 

Origin API

Safari 26.5 also adds support for the Origin API, which exposes origin information as a structured Origin object rather than requiring string parsing. This also enables you to perform same-site comparisons between origins without having to pull in the Public Suffix List. Origin.from(value) allows you to construct an Origin object from a string or built-in object, such as MessageEvent. When the origins from built-in objects are opaque, you can still compare them. This wasn’t possible before as you only had access to the serialized origin, which is “null” for opaque origins.

const messageOrigin = Origin.from(messageEvent);
const localOrigin = Origin.from("https://social.example");
if (messageOrigin.isSameSite(localOrigin))
    grantAccess();

Improvements to Web API

• Fixed an issue where DecompressionStream discarded valid decompressed output when extra trailing bytes were present after the compressed stream, instead of enqueuing the output before throwing. (171020155)
• Fixed an issue where calling preventDefault() on pointerdown events did not prevent page scrolling when only passive touch event listeners are installed. (173988278)

• Fixed an issue where emoji images copied from websites and pasted into other sites appeared broken due to cross-origin resource policy blocking the SVG image sources. (172775070)
• Fixed an issue where pasting text into an empty list item created an extra blank bullet. (173275372)

Forms

• Fixed an issue where a readonly date <input> could still be edited via keyboard using the date picker. (171535893)

• Fixed an issue where scroll-snap re-snapping after layout changes could cause incorrect scroll positions, resulting in the wrong content being shown. (171541221)

Storage

• Fixed an issue where IndexedDB connections could become permanently broken until the page was reloaded. (172247569)
• Fixed an issue where document.hasStorageAccess() could return a Promise that never resolves. (172424614)

Web Extensions

• Fixed an issue where extensions with a trailing comma in manifest.json failed to load in Safari. (172120877)

WebGL

• Fixed WebGL shader compilation to properly handle NaN and infinity values. (166699074)

WebRTC

• Fixed RTCIceCandidate.toJSON() to include the usernameFragment property in its serialized output. (172689343)
• Fixed RTCRtpSender to allow a maxFramerate value of 0. (172689374)
