Full Fact Overview
Tailwind CSS v4.3 represents a significant expansion of the v4 engine's utility set, focusing on CSS properties that previously required custom plugins or arbitrary values. By adding first-party scrollbar styling, the framework reduces dependency on third-party plugins for cross-browser UI consistency. The inclusion of zoom and tab-size utilities provides more granular control over layout rendering and text formatting. The update also addresses a documentation gap by consolidating v4.2 features—which were released without formal blog announcements—into the current stable version, ensuring parity between the codebase and public documentation.
