Ep. #54: From "Works on Chrome" to "Works on Web"

About this episode

The episode discusses the future of browser interoperability and the evolution from browser hacks to modern standards.

We discuss Interop 2025 and the upcoming 2026 edition that has opened the call to action for feature suggestions. Chucho and Ricard explain you how they used to hack browsers to get that cross-browser support with JavaScript polyfills and CSS conditional rules. These days are gone, we look forward to more browser interoperability. We have a small wishlist for 2026, what's yours? https://wpt.fyi/interop-2025 Follow us: - Chucho Castañeda https://x.com/honupo - Ricard Torres https://ricard.social/@dev
