I think the confusion is about what "Gorey, Grimm, Scarry" mean. They, along with "Silverstein" in that game, are last names of children's authors.

And that would be OK as a clue if Silverstein was a red herring, Grizzly was also a children's author and Scarry sounded like scary (and also meant something in the same ballpark as Gory, Grim, and Grisly)

Richard Scarry's surname is indeed pronounced "scary," rather than (as I assumed for many years) "scarr-ry."

That is, it rhymes with Harry, Larry, carry, parry, tarry, and marry, rather than... uh, starry, I guess?


Where I come from, Scarry rhymes with Harry, but Harry does not rhyme with scary.

  Harry does not rhyme with hairy
  Scarry does not rhyme with scary
  Marry does not rhyme with Mary. Nor with merry!
You can probably triangulate my childhood home with that information. :)

It hasn't.

Yes, I think that's standard in the U.S.


Safari (desktop and mobile) also has tracker blocking built in. "Prevent cross-site tracking" and "Hide IP address from trackers" are two settings it has; I think the first is checked by default, I don't remember about the other.

In the DevTools network pane, it shows requests to known trackers, like Google Tag Manager, being blocked.

Try using Amazon in Safari sometime (in Lockdown Mode, no less): non-stop ads (some which flash), sponsored results dominating the first page of search, random Dufus pop-ups forcing AI. You can hide "distracting" elements but they just appear again later. Safari is not a user-friendly browser.


Safari is my default browser. I don't know what "Dufus" means, I don't recall any A.I. references. On Amazon, it's all first-party stuff, what browser blocks that natively? It seems like you're comparing using Safari without an ad blocker to a different browser with an ad blocker.

I know the most popular ad blocking extensions don't make a Safari version but there are ad blockers for Safari.


Dufus = Rufus, the obnoxious AI "helper" that takes up 20% of the screen when I search for something on Amazon, which no one asked for.


I don't get any of that in Safari or any other browser. "Rufus" is just a button in the main navigation, between "All" and "Same-day delivery" that I ignore. On individual product pages, there's "Ask Rufus" stuff in a couple of pages but it's no worse than other content I scroll past and seems just like previous features that didn't have a named AI identity.


Yes, the tabs in a tabs pattern should be keyboard navigated using arrow keys (ironically not the Tab key).

Also, the summary for the currently open details element will have the wrong state, 'expanded' instead of 'selected'. And while a set of details can now have a maximum of one open at a time, you can't ensure exactly one is always open (without JavaScript) as the tabs pattern requires.


That's what we need, for browsers to have a setting to remember our light/dark preferences per-domain.


Yes, popover's uses are limited without CSS anchor positioning but it will be supported in all major browsers very soon.

In the meantime, there is a polyfill to load in browsers without support.

That's not correct. There is no aria-open attribute and the summary implicitly has the correct ARIA state, aria-expanded, indicating that its details element is either expanded or collapsed.

There have been bugs in its implementation, particularly in Safari and differing between mobile and desktop Safari.


Perhaps you’re right. What I mentioned might have been an issue that has since fade due to browser and AT updates.

Thanks for correcting me.


Yes, Google started revealing the contents of <details> a few years ago, long after the element was supported in all browsers. Firefox added support earlier this year and Safari just added it.

Supporting the behavior was related to changing the user agent CSS when they're closed and the other browsers implemented it and hidden=until-found at the same time.

Leaving it in the ground would be even better.
