Chrome ships Modern Web Guidance 1.0 with a codebase modernization workflow

Modern Web Guidance 1.0: The web platform expertise your coding agent is missing

Chrome released the stable version of Modern Web Guidance 1.0, giving coding agents web best practices, browser compatibility data and a codebase modernization workflow. The release adds expert-reviewed guidance and a public evaluation hub, and Firefox and Edge will take part and contribute. The modernization workflow currently checks a limited set of patterns through static analysis.

Why it matters: It wires browser compatibility data and expert-reviewed guidance into coding agents, so existing codebases can adopt modern web features within their supported range.
