### `@starting-style` at-rule

The CSS [`@starting-style`](/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@starting-style) at-rule allows you to set the starting styles of an element for a CSS transition, when the element has no default initial style. This is particularly useful for elements that are hidden from view on the first paint such as [`popover`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/popover) or ['dialog'](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/dialog). Does not yet support animating from `display: none`. For more details, see [Firefox bug 1834876](https://bugzil.la/1834876) and [Firefox bug 1834877](https://bugzil.la/1834877).

### Symmetrical `letter-spacing`

The CSS {{cssxref("letter-spacing")}} property now splits the specified letter spacing evenly on both sides of each character. This is unlike the current behavior where spacing is added primarily to one side. This approach can improve text spacing, especially in mixed-directional text [Firefox bug 1891446](https://bugzil.la/1891446).

### OpenFont COLRv1 fonts

This feature provides support for the [OpenFont COLRv1 font specification](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/).
This enables compression-friendly color vector fonts with gradients, compositing and blending to be loaded using the CSS [`@font-face`](/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face) rule, or the [CSS Font Loading API](/en-US/docs/Web/API/CSS_Font_Loading_API).
See [Firefox bug 1740530](https://bugzil.la/1740530) for more details.

### CSS Custom Highlight API

The [CSS Custom Highlight API](/en-US/docs/Web/API/CSS_Custom_Highlight_API) provides a mechanism for styling arbitrary text ranges in a document (generalizing the behavior of other highlight pseudo-elements such as {{cssxref('::selection')}}, {{cssxref('::spelling-error')}}, {{cssxref('::grammar-error')}}, and {{cssxref('::target-text')}}).

### Service Workers

#### Preloading of service worker resources on navigation

The {{domxref("NavigationPreloadManager")}} interface can be used to enable preloading of resources when navigating to a page.
Preloading occurs in parallel with worker bootup, reducing the total time from start of navigation until resources are fetched.

### Privacy Preserving Attribution API (PPA)

[PPA API](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-preserving-attribution) provides an alternative to user tracking for ad attribution using the new `navigator.privateAttribution` object with `saveImpression()` and `measureConversion()` methods. Read more about PPA [in the explainer](https://github.com/mozilla/explainers/tree/main/ppa-experiment). This experiment can be enabled for websites via [origin trial](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Origin_Trials) or in the browser by setting the preference to `1`.

Mozilla's developer tools are constantly evolving. We experiment with new ideas, add new features, and test them on the Nightly and Developer Edition channels before letting them go through to beta and release. The features below are the current crop of experimental developer tool features.

### Execution context selector

This feature displays a button on the console's command line that lets you change the context in which the expression you enter will be executed. (See [Firefox bug 1605154](https://bugzil.la/1605154) and [Firefox bug 1605153](https://bugzil.la/1605153) for more details.)

devtools.inspector.ruleview.inline-compatibility-warning.enabled no longer in source, so most likely removed a long time ago. Feature is present. We don't BCD these things anymore, and documentation is off MDN.
