Baseline opens 2025 with a new monthly digest
Chrome Developer Relations has launched a monthly digest series to track what's happening with Baseline, the web platform compatibility project. The first edition covers developments from January 2025, including a new feature reaching Baseline status, third-party tooling integrations, and updates to the platforms that track Baseline data.
Promise.try reaches Baseline Newly available
The first feature to reach Baseline Newly available status in 2025 is Promise.try, which has recently landed in all major browser engines. The method works with Promises and handles exceptions thrown by callbacks, whether those callbacks are synchronous or asynchronous. More detail is available in the Baseline Newly available post and the MDN documentation.
RUMvision adds Baseline data to real-user monitoring
RUMvision, a Real User Monitoring product that collects field data on user experience signals such as Core Web Vitals, has integrated Baseline into its solution. This gives developers visibility into which web platform features are supported by the browsers their actual users are running.
The company is also using the Baseline status widget across its website to indicate the Baseline status of features it mentions. The widget is publicly available for any site that wants to display the same information.
Web Platform Status Dashboard sorts features by year
The Web Platform Status Dashboard, launched last year to show which web platform features are Baseline, now has bookmarks in its menu that group features by year going back to 2020. The dashboard can be a useful way to see how long features have been available across all browsers. The web.dev site curates corresponding year-based feature lists for 2023, 2024, and 2025; both destinations will be updated through the year.
A look back at 2024
Several features reached Baseline Newly available status during 2024, and the Web Platform Status Dashboard launched. The Baseline wrap-up post summarizes the project's activity over the past year.
For a developer-focused overview of Baseline—what problem it solves and what features are usable across browsers today—Pete LePage's talk at Connect.Tech 2024 is available to watch, with slides online as well.
The digest will return monthly with news about Baseline talks, tooling, features, and other ecosystem activity. If something was missed, it can be submitted for a future edition.
