`aspect-ratio` is going to deprecate FitVids
Jen was just tweetin’ about how the latest Safari Technical Preview has aspect-ratio. Looks like Chrome and Firefox both have it behind a flag, so with Safari joining the party, we’ll all have it soon.
I played with it a while back. It’s awesome and much needed. There are ways to make `aspect-ratio` boxes, but they largely revolve around “padding hacks.”

Seeing it working in Edge Dev 89 (M1) as well. https://t.co/bSKrWEPQyE
