📄 Handling CSS Precedence with @layer

#css #layer

In web design scenarios, developers typically use multiple CSS selectors and often have to override styles. Even though you don’t override CSS styles with multiple selectors by yourself, every CSS block you write automatically overrides styles from the user-agent stylesheet. CSS’s style overriding process happens based on the browser’s specificity algorithm that calculates a weight for CSS selectors for handling precedence. In the past, every developer tweaked their CSS overriding-related code based on the specificity algorithm since they didn’t have a way to handle CSS precedence without using confusing !important.
