Really nice walkthrough about diagnosing and solving slow tooltips.

Alex posted a follow-up to a prior post on avoiding scrollbar jumping when using content-visibility.

It’s clever stuff—the combination of ResizeObservers and IntersectionObservers helping to avoid the shifting around that would occur otherwise.

This doesn’t do much though to eliminate the reservations I have about content-visibility. In theory, it’s a great addition, but the fact that it seems to need so much supporting scaffolding to make it usable for a relatively simple use-case makes me feel like it may be missing a few other pieces of native plumbing before it’s really ready for primetime.

Clever stuff from Nolan about trying to measure the complete cost of a component—not just the JS execution.
