Comment on Whither print.css? A Rallying Cry for a Web That’s Fit to Print (2013)

Comments

We have a little tool that can produce a multi-column print view (based on paper size and orientation) from most web-based articles. Chrome doesn't support multi-column CSS in its print view yet, so it doesn't work there. If anyone's curious, there's a video here: http://blog.fivefilters.org/post/75603097111/pdf-newspaper-2...

Chrome had support for multi-column CSS for several months (2 years or so). But Google forked off Webkit (Blink) and removed advanced CSS code known as CSS Region that has been contributed by Adobe to the Webkit project.

It's quit sad that Google favors broken CSS support in Chrome v32+ with their new "mobile 2014" strategy.

As a direct reaction too Google action, Apple remove ShadowDOM from Webkit.
