I like `@viewport`, but I cannot disagree about its lack of traction. In fact, it's lost traction: it used to ship in Opera and IE, but with the demise of those as standalone engines, it's no longer in any modern browser. That makes me sad, but it's nonetheless true. Also, the viewport meta needs a spec. Also, we recently discussed specifying the definitions of layout viewport and visual viewport, and temporarily agreed that they could go in cssom-view, but there was some reluctance about that due to the fact that not all implementations that care about the viewport have an OM, so the coupling felt wrong. With all that in mind, moving the definitions of the viewports here, defining the viewport meta alongside, and removing the rest seems sensible to me. There are a number of useful things that `@viewport` does/did that the meta viewport doesn't do, so it would probably be good to set up an explainer somewhere to preserve those, in the hope that we'll get back to this some day, but the current state of affairs doesn't help anyone. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4766#issuecomment-584447084 using your GitHub account
