Found this fun article about the shadow DOM. Interesting to see how much is going on behind the scenes to make html more useful.

Fascinating... I've never even heard of the shadow DOM (which, I guess makes sense... it being "shadow-y" and all ;-)

Thanks for posting, looks like a fun thing to dig into a bit more!

And with that article being from 2011, any ideas on how this has changed since then?

I think the shadow DOM has come a long way and is now used for creating functional components behind the scenes before the page renders. Here is a new overview by google of the v1 version of the shadow DOM that has come out:
