A lightweight themed zero-dependency web component wrapper to emulate a Safari-esque browser window for demos and presentations.

Originally used in the slide deck for This Web Site is a Tech Talk.

Notably (as this component is best for demos) it does use client rendering via Shadow DOM to add the markup for browser chrome around the content. Before JavaScript or without JavaScript, the fallback content is rendered as expected.

Demos

Here’s a live demo of it in action.
