Chrome for Developers

Chrome 147 introduces three notable features for web developers. Element-scoped view transitions expose startViewTransition() on arbitrary HTML elements, enabling concurrent and nested transitions while keeping the rest of the page interactive. The new CSS contrast-color() function automatically returns black or white based on which provides higher contrast against a given color, aiding accessibility compliance. The CSS border-shape property allows creating non-rectangular borders using arbitrary shapes like polygons, circles, or shape() values, differing from clip-path by decorating the border rather than clipping the entire element.
