A super scary way to go about tables using other layout techniques, like CSS Grid.
Multiple-column layout, rows, rules, and floats
Recently implemented in Chrome are two of my top asks for CSS—the concept of rows in multiple-column layout, and gap decorations for rows and columns in grid, flexbox, and multicol. Rows (using column-wrap) provide a way to use multicol on the web without risking scrolling up and down to read if the columns become taller than the viewport. Gap decorations mean that, for multicol, you can now add a rule between these new rows. This post is a collection of the things I think would be interesting to do in future. If you think so too, and particularly if you have a great use case for any of these, let me know in the comments.

Making features generic in CSS
CSS has two new positional alignment keywords as part of CSS Box Alignment Level 3: flow-start and flow-end. These are defined as aliases for the existing flex-start and flex-end keywords. Therefore, in a supporting browser, the following two lines should align flex items to the end of the flex container (the right assuming you are working in English).

Animating CSS Grid Layouts with CSS Anchor Positioning
At CSS Day (back in June), someone asked me how Brave (the browser) might have built their New Tab Page which features some tiles laid out in a grid. While the grid is nothing spectacular, something special happens with it when you resize the viewport: as the available space changes, the grid nicely reorganizes itself in an animated way. The animations are also interruptible, so no View Transitions seem to be at play.So, how did they do it? I’m not sure. But if I were to recreate it, I’d use CSS Anchor Positioning with regular CSS Transitions on top.
