“Pretty” is in the eye of the beholder

SMRTR summary

A new CSS property, text-wrap: pretty, has been implemented in Safari Technology Preview, enhancing paragraph typography by reducing hyphenation, eliminating orphans, and avoiding typographic rivers. Unlike Chrome's implementation, which only adjusts the last four lines, Safari's approach affects the entire paragraph. The CSS specification allows browsers to determine their own methods for improving text layout. This feature gives developers more control over typography without compromising performance for typical web content.
