Removal of -ms-high-contrast and Adoption of Forced Colors Based on Standards in Microsoft Edge

Sure! Here’s the translation into American English:

The Microsoft Edge team has reported that, starting with version 138, non-standard CSS features have been completely removed from the browser, specifically the -ms-high-contrast media function and the -ms-high-contrast-adjust property. This decision is the result of a deprecation process that began more than a year ago when the new standards-based forced colors feature was introduced.

The removal of these features, which were legacies of Internet Explorer and EdgeHTML, aims to make it easier for web developers to transition to the new forced colors feature. This function is already available in other compatible Chromium-based browsers, as well as in Firefox, seeking greater uniformity in the user experience.

With this update, the browsing experience for those using the high contrast theme in Windows is expected to be more consistent between Edge and other browsers that support this forced colors mode. The measure aims to create a more accessible and interoperable environment for all web users.

Developers who believe their sites might be affected by the removal of these non-standard properties are encouraged to review the initial deprecation announcement and test their pages using the new properties related to the forced colors mode. Additionally, the Edge team has enabled channels for feedback on this change, inviting users to report any issues they may experience with the new updates.
