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 and speaking on the topic, we wanted to talk with him about what that means. Chris has also been writing about the future of CSS mixins, a new specification Miriam is working on. We answer questions, get feedback, and chat about where CSS is heading.
