Filter Effects & Blend Modes
summary
CSS adds three kinds of filters — built‑ins, SVG primitives and custom GLSL‑style shaders — with built‑ins already in Chrome 18 / Safari 6 and SVG filters usable via URL. Demos use GLSL shaders and WebGL-style processing, show GPU acceleration for animated filters (no repaint or layout), and a custom‑filter prototype that bends HTML but is not yet production ready. Blend modes arrive as mix‑blend‑mode and background‑blend‑mode, restricted by stacking contexts and isolation to keep results performant.
