Best Practices

• Use the backdrop-filter property sparingly, as it can have a significant impact on performance.
• Avoid using the backdrop-filter property on elements that are frequently updated or animated, as this can also impact performance.
• Consider using the backdrop-blend-mode property in combination with the backdrop-filter property to create more complex effects.
• Use the backdrop-filter property in combination with media queries to create responsive layouts that adapt to different screen sizes and resolutions.
