A few years ago, I was involved in the development of custom select, back when it was called <selectlist>.
Now, it's just <select> and it comes with a bunch of CSS to make it do whatever you want, like this circular demo!
Can't wait for broader support.

@patrickbrosset My main use for a "custom" select/dropdown is to enable multi selection through checkboxes + add a filter input.
Would it be possible (I don't see how) with that spec?
@patrickbrosset @nicofrand listboxes (e.g. `<select size="3">` and `<select multiple>`) will be supported by chromium 145 (this week's release).
There's also work to support `<select multiple size="1">` which will be a dropdown multiple select.
Though if you want to do something more fancy like using a filter input your best bet will probably be using the listbox multiple select inside your own popover and handle that aspect manually.
https://open-ui.org/components/combobox.explainer/#making-your-own-picker-for-a-filterable-select - seeks to improve that though
