Responsive SVGs - container vs media queries

Screenshot of “Responsive SVGs - container vs media queries”

Maarten shows here (only in Chrome Canary for now) how Container Queries will allow us to have responsive SVG images inline in the HTML.

Responsive SVG images where already possible as I shown 8 years ago, but only external, loaded with an <img /> tag or as CSS background.

    Safari requires a media type, like all.

    So here's the "right" syntax:
    @​media not all and (min-width: 60rem) { … }
