This feature enables developers to set CSS properties based on conditions without JavaScript or preprocessors. The function supports three main capabilities: style queries for reacting to CSS custom properties, inline media queries for responsive design, and feature detection with supports(). Real-world applications include simplified dark mode implementation, design system components, and responsive containers. Browser support is currently limited to Chrome/Edge 137+ with Firefox in development and Safari on the roadmap.
