Last weekend I was speaking at CSS Conf Armenia 2021 about the work Igalia has been doing adding support for :focus-visible in WebKit.

The slides of my talk are available on this blog and the video is on Igalia’s YouTube channel.

The presentation is divided in 4 parts:

1. An introduction about :focus-visible feature, paying attention to some special details.
2. An explanation of the Open Prioritization effort from Igalia that lead to the implementation of :focus-visible in WebKit.
3. A summary of the work done during this year.
4. Some discussion about the next steps looking forward to ship :focus-visbile in Safari/WebKit.

Last but not least, thanks again to all the people and organizations that have sponsored the implementation of :focus-visible in WebKit. We’re closer than ever to see it shipping there. We’ll keep you posted!
