Shipped September 22: Chrome 154 landed three platform features that read like a response to decade-old layout complaints: responsively-sized iframes, modes for the CSS scroll-marker-group, and CSS text-decoration-inset.

The three, in one line each

  • Responsively-sized iframes: an embedded frame can resize itself responsively instead of gymnastics through postMessage height reports.
  • CSS scroll-marker-group modes: carousels and step-by-step scrollers get declarative control over where their markers sit and shrink.
  • CSS text-decoration-inset: underlines and line-through stop clipping into descenders; text decoration gets inset control like the rest of layout.

None of the three is headline grabber; all three are the kind of fix that deletes a JavaScript shim you were embarrassed of. That is the actual state of the platform: boring wins, shipped one release at a time, gacor when your own stick-it-tape repo shrinks.
