#CSSOM
top secret fam. DO NOT SHARE EXTERNALLY.

the little window that opens up from the Electrobun Kitchen Sink *does not contain a webview*.

- no dom
- no cssom
- just a native window
- with direct access to webgpu/metal
- three.js api layered on top
- directly in bun typescript

And why did this happen? Defensively, browsers will not run any synchronous JS if any synchronous CSS is still in flight. This is because the JS could read/write from/to the CSSOM, so the browser will build the CSSOM first, just in case.

Her last name is also Hannah. 😂 The Sarah’s and Hannah’s. And his last name is Marcus. From CSSoM. I have not seen this movie, but it seems so ridiculous.

I've come to the sad conclusion that @apply in Tailwind is a big anti-pattern.

With enough complex utilities, your CSS can balloon to hundreds of kB, bloating the CSSOM and hurting runtime rendering performance, not just network.

Call to action for #WebComponent / #ShadowDOM fans: I've added an experimental flag to Firefox lifting the restriction on adoptedStyleSheets, meaning shadowroots can adopt `link.sheet` or `style.sheet`.

Please try this out, and let me know if you encounter issues!

I forgot to mention earlier that Javascript's CSSOM library (in browsers by default) has a CSS.escape method which deals with this:

> CSS.escape('123') // => "\31 23"

But actually trying to use this in practice makes your Javascript feel as clunky as your CSS is.

What exactly is the viewport? 🔍

The CSSOM View Module defines key concepts like the visual & layout viewport, and initial containing block, and understanding them is essential for responsiveness, scrolling, and positioning correctly.

Master viewport 👇

Viewport concepts - CSS | MDN
This article explains the concept of the viewport — what it is, its impact in terms of CSS, SVG, and mobile devices — and differentiates between the visual viewport and the layout viewport.

ya, `getComputedStyled` is CSSOM, while `computedStyleMap()` is Typed CSSOM and therefore newer/not quite baseline.

CVE-2026-93752 - CSSOM through 0.5.0 Denial of Service via length Property
CSSOM through 0.5.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability in CSSStyleDeclaration.setProperty() that fails to validate reserved property names. Attackers can supply a stylesheet with a declaration named length to replace the internal counter and trigger excessive memory allocation during cssText serialization, causing process termination.

that’s a cool concept! does it programmatically translate from dom to cssom names, or is it a limited set of style props with themable defaults for the others?

It calculates the REAL cost of desktop-only CSS on mobile:

Another one of those things that would be great to have in the CSSOM.
July 28, 2026 at 1:32 PM
It was surprisingly easy to implement because the spec is very well written: it’s a bunch of algorithms that you “simply” have to convert to code.

The more difficult parts were the CSSOM and Promises integration because you –by default– can’t do certain things with them.

Took me ±8 hours in total.
