CSS Scope & Mixins
A chat with Chris Coyier
At the end of 2025,
Firefox added the CSS @scope rule –
making the new feature available
across all major browsers!
Since Chris Coyier has done
a fair amount of writing

we wanted to talk with him

We answer questions,
get feedback,
and chat about where CSS is heading.
Check out our CSS Mixins Playlist today.
