🆕 New CSS Features to Watch in 2025
✅ 1. :has()
— Parent Selector
Finally, full support across modern browsers.
.card:has(img:hover) {
border: 2px solid blue;
}
✅ 2. Scoped CSS with @scope
Scoping styles to a specific section of the DOM.
@scope (.section) {
h2 {
color: coral;
}
}
✅ 3. Container Style Queries
Now you can style based on container styles, not just size.
@container style(color: red) {
.child {
border-color: red;
}
}
✅ 4. Anchor Positioning
Precise UI control with anchored popups/tooltips.
.tooltip {
anchor-name: --button;
position-anchor: --button;
}
✅ 5. color-mix()
Function
Mix two colors with CSS natively:
color: color-mix(in srgb, red 70%, blue);
