  • The spec is a W3C CSS working group draft: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-anchor-position-1/

    It looks like less of a Chrome thing and more of an Edge thing? The Intent to Prototype [1] links to an Edge explainer [2] with Microsoft authors. It doesn't look like anyone has asked Mozilla for a position yet [3] but I expect if they get positive signals from web developers (us!) that will be soon.

  • Popups (tooltips include) are shown as out-of-canvas elements - separate desktop windows, that's the must for desktop UI. Check this: https://terrainformatica.com/w3/sciter-tooltip.png

    So far these APIs appear as complete, I do not have other tooltip related requests last 5 or so years.
