    Basic CSS Anchor Positioning support was accepted into Interop2025. Looks like it's not going to be ready in Firefox by the end of the year so I'm guessing it will be carried over into 2026:

    Accepted Interop proposal: web-platform-tests/interop#752
    Carryover evaluation for CSS anchor positioning: web-platform-tests/interop#1172

    While we wait oddbird's anchor position polyfill has worked well for side projects:
