WWDC26: Rediscover the HTML select element | Apple
Apple's Safari 27 and Chrome 135 add customizable HTML select elements styleable with pure CSS.
“Starting in Safari 27 and Chrome 135, you can use the pre-existing select element to seamlessly integrate your drop-downs into your website.”
Apple's WWDC26 session demonstrates a new customizable HTML select element that lets developers style drop-downs entirely with HTML and CSS while preserving native accessibility. This is a front-end web platform feature with no meaningful AI industry relevance.
