For this issue of What’s !important, we have a healthy balance of old CSS that you might’ve missed and new CSS that you don’t want to miss. This includes random(), random-item(), folded corners using clip-path, backdrop-filter, font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums, the Popover API, anchored container queries, anchor positioning in general, DOOM in CSS, the customizable select element, :open, scroll-triggered animations, the toolbar element, and somehow, more.
