CSS is Rad
summary
Argues CSS is built for resilient, contextual design: browsers ignore unknown rules so authors should write layered fallbacks rather than chase pixel parity. Demonstrates demos in the Firefox style editor, uses grid + @supports fallbacks, subgrid with source-order fallback, and flex/vh fallbacks for full-height sections. Explains cascade origins and the role of user styles, proposes weighted influence as a thought experiment, and ships a theme editor on oddbird to let users tweak colors and weights. Emphasizes trust the flow and quantum CSS with practical support queries.
