I've only just noticed that @npub13dm…lj2t has made a lovely video about the <meta name=text-scale> tag. Thanks so much. It explains text scaling so clearly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVIgKEOVfVg

The thing is, your head appears as the biggest out of all the speakers' photos, so maybe you are a giant!
(Or maybe you just zoomed in on your camera more. 😅 )

Excitingly, Chrome Canary recently added support for <meta name="text-scaling"> behind a flag.
What is it? It's something that we're all going to start using on our websites to improve accessibility. Here's a blog post with more info. https://www.joshtumath.uk/posts/2026-01-27-try-text-scaling-support-in-chrome-canary/
This is an exciting milestone for me, because it's something I proposed at the CSSWG over a year ago. Thanks to David Grogan in the Chrome team for working with me to make this happen!

I'm delighted to announce that I will be speaking at @npub1sgc…ng40 this year!
I never would have joined the CSSWG without this conference. It holds a special place in my heart. 💜

Awesome, my talk has just been published. Check it out if you're interested! There's various examples of how new CSS properties have evolved into their current design.
Thanks again to all the organisers of
@npub1nkt…dfpq for all the accommodation.

So I've just started working on the slides for my talk at @npub1nkt…dfpq State of the Browser.
I've had an excellently productive 2 hours working on... the title slides... and a BBC style end card...
Good grief.
