Discussion on: What's new in browser support?

[Manuele J Sarfatti]

It’s not properly new but I've recently found out about:

@media (pointer: coarse) {
  // touch device (finger)
}

@media (pointer: fine) {
  // touch device (stylus)
}

I can't believe I didn't know about this. There is definitely some DEV functionality written in JavaScript I'd wished I could have done via media query.

Time to look further into this and make some changes!

Same here. Mind blown, right??
Especially when you find out for how long this has been around...

It conforts me to know that some well established DEvs were unaware about that

I personally grew up when IE5 was around. Things were so bad for the frontend that even today I just assume us poor frontend devs will never get anything nice.

🤯Mind blown. I'm so going to be using this in the future
